Sorry if this has been posted before. I have bought some hen food duly pre laced with worming stuff (Marriages) and understand that the hens should not be given anything else to eat for seven days. My query is this; do i have to restrict them to their run for seven days as they forage all day in the fields normally. My guess is that I should keep them in but the staff at the retailers said free ranging would be ok if they had access to the Marriages pellets.
That would be great if true??
