peebles Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Girls (and boy) just enjoyed their first ever homemade hot mash to warm their little bodies After reading about all your lovely mashes you make for your chooks, I decided to make one up of pellets, porridge oats, hot water and a little splodge of marmite! Smelt disgusting, even to a marmite lover, but they're chowing down Had a snuffly nose, few sneezes and snot bubbles from Kate, but her chest is clear and she's bright, eating and droppings are normal. Gave her a cuddle in the warm living room where she had a good preen, hopped back outside with no trouble. Hoping it's the weather's fault and not something sinister Why did it have to be such a freezing cold month for our first chicken winter Hope all chooks are doing okay in this weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It does smell doesn't it!!! But they do seem to appreciate it though, bless 'em! Hope Kate is OK, and recovers from her sniffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Oooo, didn't know you could give them marmite, I love marmite, so will try it out on my chucks too! Thanks for the tip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
