penelope Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hi There My lovely girls that we hatched are now 14weeks old. They have growers pellets ad lib, free range on my allotment or in the garden & have left overs & acsess to grit. I was wondering how old they should be before I start giving them a little corn. I have the layers ready to start mixing in when this sack is nearly gone. Also what age should they have the oyster shell & limestone? You can guess that I am patiently(NOT) waiting for our first egg I have a whole camera full of pics of them from hatch to now including the hansome boys & one day I will get round to posting some on here. Thanks for helping to get them to this stage, its been such fun for my daughter & I . Penelope XX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 They can have corn now, a little at the end of the day They need flint grit but no oyster shell until they are at least 18+ weeks I know its hard but be patient, I has a chook lay before her time and her growth was stunted by it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
