Worming Time

I've been using Vermex - but I've read that it isn't 100% certain. Now that the newbies are fit and well, I've just started a 7 day treatment of flubenvet, bought from my vets. I made up 12kg of feed. This is enough to fill all three grub containers and the feed bucket. I estimate that this should last 6 chickens 7 days. Making a note of this for reference.

New Feathers

After last weekend's traumas cleaning out the eglus, I gave them a quick empty mid-week and then pottered around giving them a really thorough clean this weekend. The roosting bars needed only a quick wipe down, little and often is, I think, the answer. The sun was shining so I took a few pics of the newly feathered ex-batts.

In the first pic, they're enjoying (and wearing) a pasta treat.

In the second pic, the feather regrowth is really evident.
