Calling All Limestone Flour Experts

Recommended Posts

We have recently taken some advice from other Omlet users about the use of limestone flour to get more calcium into our ladies. I have bought a box and put in a desertspoon full in peanut feeder as advised. Problem is, I have noticed that they have slowed down on their eating drastically now, I don't think they like the flour on their pellets very much.

 

Does anyone know what the dose would be if I were to add it into a treat of mashed up something or other. They gobble treats up so quickly that they probably wouldn't even stop to taste it but pellets are a different matter entirely!

 

Thank you folks...

I mix my girls limestone flour in with their porridge which is a mix of everything - porridge oats, sweetcorn, sunflower hearts, sultanas etc. they don't stop to taste it and it's gone in a flash.

 

Maybe you could try that :D

Mine won't touch their pellets either if there is anything in with them. However, I can feed them anything if it's in with their wet layers mash. I usually put a two heaped tablespoons limestone flour in with their morning layers mash but that is for 15 hens.

Thanks very much for your reply. I wonder how much I should give 2 chickens though. Do you think 1 teaspoon would be okay?
