About once a month I give the girls a small pot of live probiotic \u00a0yogurt \u00a0between them as it’s supposed to be good for their digestive systems and they absolutely love it.<\/p>\n

I decided to worm the girls as it’s been six months since I last wormed them and it’s recommended to do it every six months. I use flubenvet which is a powder and comes with a measuring spoon and needs to be given for seven consecutive days. I mix it with treats so that all the girls get their share.<\/p>\n

I decided to mix it with the yogurt on the first day. I hadn’t given the girls yogurt for a while and there was great excitement when they saw the white dish coming. Dotty was the most excited and was jumping up at the dish as I was trying to put it down. She instantly fell upon the dish and came up covered in yogurt! They always get it all over themselves but I have never seen them get into such a mess as they did this time. They all had white beaks and flecks of yogurt all over themselves but Dotty’s comb was also completely white.<\/p>\n

This was the first photo I took after Dotty’s first dip into the yogurt.<\/p>\n

Within seconds they all had white beaks and faces. Pepper had a stripe of yogurt on her head and they were spotted with it.<\/p>\n

What a fun way to be wormed and they soon cleaned up the dish. They scrape their beaks against the patio to clean them and peck the specks of yogurt from each other. I wondered how they were going to get their faces and combs clean but when I returned a little later they were all clean again. I’m not sure how they manage to get cleaned up so quickly but they somehow do. They certainly do love yogurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
