scarlettohara Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Anything I can give to help the process (they are growing but slowly) they have Lifeguard in their water, greens etc but won't eat ex-bat crumb so are on wiggly wigglers layers mash which they love Oh and I brush them which they seem to enjoy Edited October 25, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Can't help I'm afraid - it sounds as though you are doing everything you should and more. It made me grin the thought of hens getting brushed. Chicken Coiffures (for the discerning ex-bat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 No-one would pay though as even after brushing they still look rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Gas Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Try mixing the crumb with water to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerlady Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I used poultry spice with my ex bats - it's like a vitamin powder for hens..sure it helped mine to feather up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 We use poultry spice for our chickens too; just a sprinkle on their food everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
