HENthusiastic Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi. My vet has recommended that I get some egg food and feed it regularly to my chickens, once or twice a week. Has anybody heard of this? I'm suprised to hear about something I've not even heard of on Omlet!! Does anybody use it? I've also found a receipe on the internet for making your own, so if anybody knows about it, is it best to buy it or make your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENthusiastic Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi thanks for that link I'll have a look at it later. My vet is brilliant.... but gave me so much advice and information that I can't actually remember it all clearly! I was going to see her about a different girl, but I think the egg food was for a girl who lays regular softies. She told me that they should all be having regular limestone flour (or a calcium suppliment) and that eggfood might be a easier way to feed it to them. Does that sound right?

Egluntyne Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Sounds fascinating! I've never heard of it. Who is going to be the first to try it? Is the ebay seller going to wonder what on earth is going on when there is a sudden rush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ive ordered some! I shall let you all know what its like. I have also emailed the shop (I didnt get it from ebay, but they do have a seller on there) to ask about content and use etc. I'll keep you posted.

Gamebird Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Is it just me or is egg food just a case of feeding their own eggs back to them with some added vitamins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 You'd get the same ingredients and effect by mashing up their eggs and mixing in a wee bit of Avipro. Probably cheaper too at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Oh dear. Have I wasted my money then? I could do without that at the moment,after just paying a big vets bill. I just wanted to get them anything I could which might build them up a bit and get them lots of nutrients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
