coco Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I know this is probably a daft question but one of my ex batts is eating for England. I have wormed them both with Flubenvet last week. I wondered if it is just the novelty of having a pot of food nearly all to herself. They are eating about 2kg of food between them daily. Is this normal, my other girls don't eat nearly as much, although they are smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esta Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Don't worry I have 8 and they eat like crazy, it looks like i don't feed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yep they always eat more...not sure why tho...guess its the only thing the poor things had to do in the battery apart from peck each other. One of my ex-bat Season has her beak in the grub eating more than she does out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 My ladies show almost no interest in their hen food I'm afraid Just squawk & squawk until we let them out to scratch around the garden. Seem to thrive on it tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 My ladies show almost no interest in their hen food I'm afraid Just squawk & squawk until we let them out to scratch around the garden. Seem to thrive on it tho' Mine are the same I cooked their mash this morning but it was rejected as usual. I'd say half goes in the bin every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
