I always worm the girls in March and September. Now that we are between broodies it’s a good time to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like to add the flubenvet powder to mash as all the girls love mash and it is an easy way to get them all to have a share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the first day I put it in one large dish. The big girls had the first go and the little girls couldn’t easily get a position around the dish. I then remembered that I usually put it in several small dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the flock is smaller than it’s been in the past I decided that two larger dishes would work. I spooned half the mixture into a second dish and this worked fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have now been dividing it into two dishes each day since then and it has worked well with all the girls getting a share and both dishes empty by the afternoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This needs to be done for seven consecutive days. I took some photos on the first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think the girls actually enjoy the worming process. They look on daily dishes of mash as a treat and it makes the process so easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I always worm the girls in March and September.
