The Dogmother Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Don't worry, you can't really overdose on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 This is why I always add it to the food....I have never yet managed to dole them out one per hen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I find the grape method hard too, & you always end up with bitten fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenmb Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I'm with Egluntine on this one as have also tried the grape method and gave up as some are just more adept at nicking each other's . I add it to their food and also add in some Cod Liver Oil in a drizzle as I mix up a batch so it doesn't end up as dust at the bottom of the grub. I use one of those cheap old fashions clear ketchup bottles to keep my Cod Liver Oil in as its so much easier to add in a stream that way and you can squeeze it in one handed as you mix.
