How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[ruby]

Hi,

 

I am a newbie.

 

Chickens arrived on monday - Shaggie and Scooby (6yr old responsible for the namers )

 

Anyway - they are not eating.

 

food container filled on Monday and about a quater gone. They have not been out yet and are having no treats.

 

I tried making a porridge of the layers pellets today and tehy ignored it.

 

Whay can I do to get them eating again???

Don't worry.....they eat very little until they come into lay.

 

The amount they have eaten since Monday sounds about right for two new girls.

 

They have only had pellets up to now if they are Omlet girls and so have to "learn" about other types of food.

 

They will soon get the hang of it.

I agree...

 

 

mine hated a porridge i made them, just stick to layers pellets and their grit (oyster shell added) and water, they will be fine...

 

mine get tomatoes which they now love, if I can't let them out...

 

but when I first got them, they thought anything other than pellets were alien...

 

and if yours have eaten a 1/4 of their pellets...they are eating

 

try not to worry

Ours were the same. Now they seem to never stop eating. Try them with some corn or better still grapes in the afternoon. You should see them go mad for both especially the grapes.

well my two don't seem to be eating either or layng for that matter. They are not new. Speckeldy Rose is moulting. Angel had to join the angel's in heaven about two weeks ago. We have been on holiday and i can see sweetcorn and grain that has not be consumed. This never gets left. Going to de-mite them and hope for the best.

and I hope you dont need a trip to the vets for medicine, and that they are both well soon
