Hi all,
This is geared mostly towards Sebastapol owners/breeders/showers (is that even a word?)....I have sorted out my feeding program for all of my animals for the winter season and I think I have the best for everyone but the Sebs....With their curly feathers, do you find certain foods or grains help with sheen, strength, softness, of feathers?
My geese are currently still enjoying grass and I have some hay for when the real cold hits and the grass is gone,...but the geese still have access to the chickens laying pellet/grain mix. I am learning about adjusting my silkies feed for better feathers and want to do the same for the sebs. Any advice?
Elliot did have long super soft silky feathers before we got more geese, now some look broken....I haven't seen anyone harassing him, but I was wondering if I should adjust the grain/pellets the geese get for better results.
Thanks for any ideas/advice.
