Sarahsausage Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have had to starve my hen Hilda for a couple of days and now introduce soft foods, what would be OK? Is scrambled egg OK? Porridge oats? Tuna? Cat food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 How about some pellet porridge mixed up fairly sloppy? Or some weetabix/porridge oats made up fairly sloppy? The pellet porridge would be more nutritious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahsausage Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks will give that a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Kate Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 mine love oatibix but you need to add a LOT of water - you could build houses with that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 One of mine loves cat food. If they are free ranging and we open the back door she is in the kitchen before you can blink and can scoff a bowlful in about 30 seconds much to the cats' annoyance.

chelsea Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Bio yoghurt with some sprinkled mealworms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 ready brek made with water,live yoghurt, with some bokashi. I would also recomend esp for her pureed apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara-W Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I've found that sloppy ready brek, tuna, natural probiotic yoghurt and chopped up boiled egg were successful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucky chicken Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi - I would have asked the same question as my Polly is just getting over impacted crop - but she doesn't seem to want mash/pellet porridge, or yogurt, or pureed apple!!! Fussy hen! Think I might try tuna and egg - and if she doesn't like that then the other hens will - surely! Thanks all - Sarahsausage - glad Hilda is on the mend!
