Mad about the chicken

Tag Archives: worming

… whilst I’ve been worming the chucks is how many pellets they eat when they can’t free range outside the pen. Given that most of the girls aren’t laying and how short the day is – I let them out of the coops at 8am and put them back in at roughly 4.30 pm – I’m amazed at how fast they are emptying their feeders. At least I can be sure that they are being wormed.


A yucky subject! I’m worming the birds with Flubenvet which means that they are not allowed out of the pen for a week, no corn treats and no hand-feeding. They have made their displeasure apparent and, little do they know, there’s another six days to go!
