Can I just pop in and ask (as a new chicken owner) what is this Pollard/shell grit/canola stuff you mentioned and do I have to make it myself of can I buy it somewhere?
Love all the chicken pictures. |
Wow never saw this, we have one chook that lays soft shell eggs. We were told she's lacking calcium and to feed her shell grit. But she won't eat it. So we mix pollard, shell grit & canola seeds with water to try and entice her to eat the shell grit.
It's pointless really as she comes good for like a day then reverts to soft shelled eggs again. She needs her head chopped off but I don't have the heart to do it.
Also with wing clipping, I never bothered as the area they are in has a 6 1/2 foot high fence.
