i have never given my girls any supplements, only treats but now they are getting on a bit i thought i ought to invest in limestone flour and poultry spice, unless anyone has any better ideas?

I give my girls poultry spice if they are moulting or under the weather, and limestone flour if I find any softies. I get the limestone flour from the horse supplies place where I get my layers pellets etc.

[welsh sarah]

my local suppliers are not much good, i can only just get layers pellets, they have to order me in bedding

 

i thought i could get it on the internet, if it doesnt come in heavy quantities

I got mine from ebay

 

Came in a clear plastic bag. White powder in an unlabelled plastic bag... it looked a tad dodgy if you know what i mean!

[welsh sarah]

does sound a bit dodgy

 

perhaps i will give that one a miss

Oh it was fine Sarah, just joshing. Gives nice tough shells. I put a teaspoon in some porridgey mash every other day or so. Usually does the trick although Babs now hasn't laid a hard shell one for ages. (She's a retired ex-batt) so I'm going to get some cod liver oil too for the vitamin D which helps your body absorb calcium (Especially as now we have less daylight too - another source of vit D) Of course she may just be a freeloader from now on. Bless her. Don't tell the others but she's my favourite

[welsh sarah]

right thanks for that

 

i will have a look on the internet, i am not looking for large amounts then 1 teaspoon everyother day sounds fine

i will let you know

Have you been to Country Wide in Wenvoe? That's where I got my pellets and corn from, according to their website they sell Limestone Flour, here's the link http://www.countrywidefarmers.co.uk/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=169

it's reduced at the moment too, although it says it's for horses, but I presume it's all the same stuff.
