Title: Worming and louse powder
Post by: Eagledance on June 30, 2009, 01:44:41 pm

My 3 Black rock girls are just about 1 year old and are fit and healthy, producing an egg each a day on average.
They are fenced into an area 2m x 3m
Should I worm/delouse them? They show no signs of either.
If so with what (I am organic as best as poss)
HOw often?

Andrew :)

worm them but only de louse them if you find any. look near the vent if they are there you will know if you see a white ball on the bottom of there feathers near there vent then pluck the feather and treat them.
