The Dogmother Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I have been giving my girls this powdered tonic every now and then. Now, I love the smell, but they don't seem to eat it - does anyone else find that their girlies leave it in the bottom of the feeder? They even seem less keen on their wet mash if I add it to that.

chickyhazel Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I don't have any experience with mineral powder but ours dislike it when we put garlic in their feed so I expect it'a s imilar reaction. I guess it must smell or taste bad to a chicken. If you put a teeny amount mixed in with something super tasty, like corn, they might eat it. Ours (except Ginger) eat anything if it's on grapes.

mabelandflosmum Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I use a similar powder called chicken spice (conjures up a nasty picture of a cooked chicken!) I add a sprinkle to a half slice of soaked bread and they love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
