Worming Advice

[gazparkin]

Hello.

I’m after a bit of advice on how and when to worm my ex-battery hens. I’ve got some flubenvet 1% powder and as I only have a couple of hens, I’ve been giving them 0.1g each in a syringe with some water over 7 days each to make sure they get it. The question is how often should I repeat this as a preventative measure? Each gram contains 10mg

many thanks in advance

The 1% flubenvet is meant to be mixed into the feed and fed for 7 days. The smallest mix on the label is 6 grams per 2 kg of feed and it should be mixed evenly in the feed to get the proper dosage. So you could add 3 grams per kg of feed. I would be twmpted to mix in a couple of drops of vegetable oil mixed very well, so the powder would stick to the feed. Here is the label:
