hello ,
i don`t use verm x as don`t find it very affective. i use Flubenvet which you can only get from somewhere licensed. but the web site i got mine from is www.chemistdirect.com but it is more expensive than verm x

hello, ;D
just started a post about feeding rhubarb to chickens on the forum 'Practical poultry forum' as i`m interest in what more experience chicken keepers than me (i have only been keeping chickens for 6months) have to say. if anyone is interested in following the discussion.

I have also used rhuabarb leaves on my chooks. Can't remember where I heard it but they seem to love the leaves and they really go for it.

I don't know about the worming as I have never seen worms or anything. I don't know how you tell if they have them?!

You will see worms in the poo oh yuck yes but keep and close eye on it. Yes rhubarb is an old methord for treating hens for worms only the leaves. If you grow a crown or two along side the runs where the hens can help themselves when they need it all the better. Mine leave the stalks so we share the plant.
