I am looking for advice. Silkies are 21 weeks. RSL's are 18 weeks. Columbians are 17 weeks. No eggs as of yet.
Everything I have read and spoken to other Silkie owners is that they require more protein than the typical 16%. I have everyone on 19% protein and the silkies have been gaining weight and strength. They were much too small on the 16%.
Now I am wondering, what the possible effects could to be on the others having that higher protein? I do supplement with oyster shells and some treats (all of them think the treats are monsters out to get them right now but it's getting better).
I had lost several in the beginning whether to health or injuries and am looking to do the best I can to help provide them the best daily nutrients. They do get vitamins in their water every other day (mainly for the Silkies).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
