worming ducks

[Anonymous]

When do I need to start worming the ducks :?: [5wks old this weekend] Most info is for chickens & Flubenvet seems to be the one most used.

Hi Andrea,

Unless they are on heavily used ground or you suspect they have worms, I wouldn't worm them until they are older - I will give my youngsters wormer in December before they start laying in the spring.

There is an article here on Worming Ducks

There is no licenced product for ducks - Flubenvet is licenced for chickens and geese so I use this.

Hope this helps.
