Chicken_man 1,651 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 What do you folks use as a wormer? Someone recommend Flubenvent to me. It's basically layers pellets with the treatment added, and fed for 5 days straight, and then 3 wks after. It has to be prescribed by the merchant when you order. I have used it, and think it's ok. What's everyone else's preference? Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
