eggalp Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Grey has been a bit 'off' since we got our two new hens - about 8 weeks ago now. She laid a few softees then had a break altogether for about a week. Then the softees started again - everyday for about 10 days. She is getting cod liver oil and im still trying to find somewhere to buy limestone flour from! She then laid a lash and hasn't laid anything for about 10 days now. Im not particularly concerned as she looks well, is eating normally, scratching about, dustbathing and doing normal chickeny things - she will be two in august. She is a bluebell - could this be the henopause - or is she a bit young for this? thanks i edited this because i cannot spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 If you can't find limestone flour, get cuttle fish bone from any pet supplier (they sell it for parrots and budgies) and grind some in a pestle and mortar. Give her half a heaped teaspoon each day, mixed in with her food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweety Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi eggalp, I see you are in Macclesfield. You can get limestone flour from Estate Supplies in Ashley if it's not too far away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
