chelsea Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Poultry spice - I do every time I fill the grub (im never very technical, I just sprinkle on and swirl around with finger) Flubenvet - every 4-6 weeks for 1 week only I dont do apple cider vinegar, mine have Aloe Vera in their water once a week. Thats about it for my supplements, I do have a load of "chicken miscellanous" potions and lotions in the garage for emergencies/treatment.

jomaxsmith Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi Debbie, ACV - tried it once and the hens wouldn't drink from the glug so haven't tried it again! I read on here something like use it for a week then have a couple of weeks without. Could be wrong though, Garlic powder - in with mash every time Limestone flour - in with mash every time Poultry spice - occasionally, once every couple of weeks Worming - I've got some Flubenvet, used it once since I've had the hens. Probably should do it again! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Flubenvet every three months. Limestone flour twice a week. Poutry spice when the mood takes me. Bokashi Bran.....every time I fill the grubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I put ACV in the water when I remember to do it (maybe once a month for a couple of days) - only a capful in a glug, they don't seem to mind! (Garlic powder in their food, however, they hate!) Poultry spice I give at the weekend as part of a "special porridge" of mash, yogurt and whatever treats I have to hand. Limestone flour I don't bother with, but then I have bantams, which lay fewer and smaller eggs, so they don't need as much calcium. Haven't wormed mine yet this year - they don't free-range much in winter, and the girls I got in January had just been wormed. I'll do them soon, though...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 ACV - I (or OH if he's following instructions ) put a wee splash in the water every day. I have limestone flour but haven't used it yet . Poultry Spice - I chuck a load in the pellets box along with garlic powder and bokashi bran. I use Flubenvet every 3 months.
