The advice for gape worm on the internet is to repeat between 14 and 17 days so I decided to start after 14 days but continue for 10 days instead of 7 to cover both time scales. I am determined to cover all angles as thoroughly as possible because I want to be as certain as I can that I completely eradicate this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am giving the usual dose of flubenvet powder in dishes of mash each morning for all the girls. At the end of the day I am giving Diamond her extra dose, to make up the recommended double dose, on some chopped tomato. Last time I held the dish in front of her beak and she took it but this time she won&#8217;t take it while the other girls are trying to get it. Diamond doesn&#8217;t like to compete with the flock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this I have changed strategy. Diamond is always the first to go in the chicken shed at the end of the day. Once she is in I am blocking the pop hole to keep the other girls out and putting her dish of chopped tomato laced with flubenvet in front of her. Once she has had it I then unblock the pop hole. This is a bit of a pain but I haven&#8217;t found anything else that works. I tried picking Diamond up and offering her the dish but she refused it as she doesn&#8217;t like being held.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/worming-the-girls-again.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/worming-the-girls-again.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/worming-the-girls-again.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/worming-the-girls-again-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/worming-the-girls-again-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Worming the girls again<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mash-with-flubenvet-mixed-in.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mash-with-flubenvet-mixed-in.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mash-with-flubenvet-mixed-in.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mash-with-flubenvet-mixed-in-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mash-with-flubenvet-mixed-in-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Dishes of mash with flubenvet mixed in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Diamond came to us she had a mucky bottom.
