shoura Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I was looking for a quick treat for the chooks when I got in this evening (am carless at the mo so running out of supplies!) I found some Flax seed so gave them some of that---they seemed to like it---hope it's ok for them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickcluck Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Do you give it to them as a seed or mill it first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Clucks-minusOne Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I grind mine and sprinkle it on their pellet and veg porridge. I also grind pumkin seeds and they love that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
