dippy bird Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have just had some poultry spice delivered but am not sure how much to put in the food? I have one feeder between 5 girls which is always kept fairly full (as they eat, more food drops down), any advice on how much spice I should mix in with their food?

Space Chick Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Its not scientific in my house, I'd say about a teaspoon to that amount of food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dippy bird Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 is one teaspoon enough? It's a pretty big feeder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenNutter Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 How often should you feed chicken spice then? My carton implies you can feed it daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It depends on which one you use TBH, the Battles one is pretty general and low-performance, so you could probably give it every day. Some of the newer water based ones and powder formulae are best kept for when needed. I find that the chooks peck around the powdered ones and tend to leave them in the bottom of the feeder, so I either mix them in a wet mash, or stick to the liquid forms.

ubereglu Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I use the powdery one and give it to them everyday at the minute as three of them are moulting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
