We were advised by the vet not to bother worming at all. We have three full grown (two laying) and 10 chooks. Vet said only worth it if you have a lot or are marketing the eggs.
But a small group can still get worms.

True but in our neck of the woods worming is only recomended if there is a serious problem from them and all animals including our sheep do not get done. The only ones who do are the dogs and the cat - because they eat rucbbish when they scamper off in the fields.

Marriages Layers with Flubenvet is great stuff but I did have to get mine through internet as nearest stockist to me was Glasgow.  Recommend worming twice a year.
