pixiewish Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi, after some advice. One of my chooks is looking slightly pale and moulting. Otherwise she seems chirpy enough and is still laying. Just wondered what you would all recommend to give her to give her a boost? The other two chooks seem just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Life Guard Tonic is good for hens that are moulting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LottyJ1 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yep life guard in water is great and I give mine a bit of tuna as a boost to help with regrowth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Nettex do a product called "Total moulting solutions" which I heard several people give a good report on and plan to use it next year for my pekins. 3 of my mine did moults this autumn and it really does take it out of them. Another tip I got from the Dogmother is to give tinned pilchards in tomato sauce (did this recently for my Molly and she seemed to like it) It's extra protein they need for feather formation. Best wishes for your girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiewish Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks hadn't even occurred to me to give them anything fishy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
