Worming

Post by KathJ »

I'm currently worming my girls with Flub. Does anyone know how this process works? Does it 'expel' any worms they may currently have? I do worm them regularly and they've shown no signs but we've just noticed a poo that looked like it could contain some so I was just wondering!

I think what it does Kath is kills the worms, then they are expelled by the hens. I've never seen live worms in post-flub poop, only before (hence the flub!) My lot are being wormed as Dory did a wriggly cecal poo.
