Buy a small 5kg bag of meal -- Dodson and Horrell / Allen and Page both do
them
Feed your birds for a few days on the new style feed until they are used to
it
Then mix the worming powder as indicated.
Feed the meal for as long as is indicated for treating the birds. It should
be several weeks if the wormer is a proper wormer which will takeout the
next generation of emerging worms
Then go back to the pellets
Rinse and repeat in the autumn
