sparkysmum Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi have just came on the forum this evening & so couldn't reply earlier. I do use limestone flour and found it to be really effective. I have 2 hens and put about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon limestone flour into their morning porrige. You could multiply this up depending on how many hens you have. Hope this is of some help.

Barkisland Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I use an eggcup full twice a week, mixed in in porridge and shared between 6 girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Marple Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am similar to the above I think. I now feed it daily about 2/3 teaspoon between 3 hens in morning porridge. Lasts all of about 1 minute! My limping chicken limps no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I stir a dessert spoonful into their pellets when I feel that it is called for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 My Coral lays softies fairly often so mine have limestone flour all the time. I mix up an old nappy bucket full of mash, bokashi, garlic powder and LF - I usually put about 2 large scoops (about 4tblsp, I guess) to a bucket. The bucket full of food lasts them a week.
