Worming the flock

I worm the flock twice a year in March and September. I find the easiest way is to add a spoon of flubenvet to four little dishes of mash (pellets with water) every day for seven consecutive days. The girls love mash so this ensures that they all get a dose.

Cloud is very firmly bottom girl. She waits until the rest of the flock move away before she has her share. It’s funny because Mango and Cloud are so firmly bonded and together with everything except this one thing. Mango is above Ginger and Silver in the pecking order but Cloud is such a wimp that they have moved above her. They run at her and she runs away where as Mango stands her ground and sees them off.

By lunch time all the mash dishes are empty. This is by far the easiest way to worm them for me.
