Staffordmum Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi all, I wasn't sure where to post this, or whether it had in fact been suggested previously. I just decanted my Poultry Spice into a flour shaker - works a treat! Every blessing. Pat & Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moomin Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Flour shakers are very handy, I recently bought 2 cheap ones to use for Diatom and StalosanF, at the advice of a fellow omleteer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Never thought of this either - been using a spoon . I'll keep a look-out for flour shakers as this sounds much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moomin Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 On the yellow tin it says one teaspoon per 10 chooks so I give my 2 about 1/5 to 1/4 of a teaspoon daily, sprinkled on top of their porridge. You can give a bit more in the cold weather but when I took Skye to the vet I asked him about additives and supplements etc., and he said not to bother with it in the Summer just give it to them in the Winter, especially when they are going thru a moult.

Barkisland Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I couldn't find a flour shaker when I was looking for one, so I got a cheap, screw lidded plastic beaker instead, and perforated the lid several times with a hot skewer. I use it for sprinkling diatom & stalosan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
