Amy83 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Can you give chickens cuttlefish??? Been to the beach today and picked some up while i was there! What do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I might be completely wrong but I seem to remember reading (on here, naturally ) that it might have too high a salt content? I'll see if I can find the thread! Here you go ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Omlet sell cuttlefish. I bought some but from local pet store but girls didn't touch it. Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLK69 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 me too, I bought some at our local pet shop - but it got ignored and is slowly fading away some where in the garden - good for pet snails apparently ! S x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy83 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Ah ha, thank you! Will think on it, knowing my lot they wouldn't appreciate it anyway! They're fans of all things green! xxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tara Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 6 of my hens love it but reading it has a high salt content is worring they eat alot of it and it has made there eggs yolks slighty whiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think that was straight from the sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The cuttlefish that are sold in pets shops, Omlet etc have had the salt content washed out of them. Too much salt is as bad for cage birds as it is for hens. I wouldn't use the sort found on the beach, just in case as it might contain other contaminants apart from salt.
