I am getting ready to worm my chickens and want to double check my method here. I got Panacur (for horses) because I want to get this over with in one day. I am thinking of either
1. Filling a couple of raisins per chickens with the dose and feeding them to each chicken - the trouble with this is to ensure that no one grabs treats from anyone else, plus the roo is nearly impossible to give treats to, because he gives everything to his hens...
or 2. adding a dose per chicken to the mash of S&P fines they get every few days anyway (plus a little bit extra for what gets stuck to the feed bowl) and give them nothing but that and trust that they kind of eat according to their body weight.
I don’t know how palatable the paste is, I wonder if it will spoil the whole batch of feed for them if they don’t like the flavor.
What do you think?
