I've been giving them oyster shell (mixed in with feed and also set out).
I've been mixing their feed myself for the past 3 plus months with all organic grains: corn, wheat, kamut, millet, amaranth, barley, oats, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, dulse flakes, kelp, lentils, split peas, alfalfa (when I have it)... there may be some others I can't recall off the top of my head. They also get scrambled eggs and/or mealworms a couple times a week, and treats a few times a week (tomatoes, greens, etc). Absolutely only thing new was a few alfalfa sprouts yesterday evening that I'd had leftover from a sandwich.
I only had 5 girls, all are about 6 1/2 months now (or were). 1 BO (gone), 2 Ameraucana/EE (one gone), 2 BR. All had been healthy to this point, no illnesses anywhere along the way that I knew of.
Poo has seemed normal, as far as I know. Usually pretty well formed greenish and sometimes with a bit of brown at the end of the poo (this bit--the brownishgreen at the end of the poo--is usually runnier and stinkier than the rest).
