Worming birds

At what age should you worm pheasant poults and what do you use to do it ?

I worm mine around day 10 after they go into the pens, I use flubenvet this comes in the medicated feed, I also use a medicated tonic that’s added to the drinker system

Worms have a three week life cycle , so I treat mine in the pen with flubenvet which i get added to the feed . They get treated at 9 weeks and then the last pellets that they get at 12 weeks also has flubenvet , then they are on wheat . 
           If it’s a new pen and small numbers , you may not have to bother . Or just treat them if they start to “ snick “ . If you have a water system in your pen you can treat with panacur 10% , but in my experience you tend to see gapes during wet weather , so poults will probably be taking water from puddles so pellets will be the best option. 
          The routine worming with a three week interval has been the way I have done it for years and I never see any problems from worms .
