    Messy bottoms

    Hi. I have 2 Isa Browns about 2 years old. They both have very messy bottoms and it seems they have gone of their food. They are not pooing much either. They free range all day in the yard and seem to move around okay and their crop is nice and red. Any suggestions.

    Newly laid Floating eggs

    I give them crushed egg shells. My concern with the floating eggs was I wouldn't expect 2 day old to float so when it did I did all the new eggs and found that they all floated so are they still okay to eat? I will try oyster shells.

    Newly laid Floating eggs

    Hi, My 2 Isa Browns have been laying and some of the eggs only a few days old float. Any ideas. I always do the egg test and discard any old ones that float but lately they all float. Also I get smashed eggs in the nesting box even though they free range all day and eat a good quantity laying mix.

    Getting enough food.

    Thanks everyone. I'm going to blend and mash everything to see how we go. How much would 2 chicks eat in a day? These 2 just seems very fussy. My other 2 chicks ,one I had for 8 years ate anything. They seem happy enough and full of life but just feel skinny when I pick them up.

    I'd say no 2,1. They were on chick starter and now on layer mix as Polly is laying. What about yogurt?

    Getting enough food.

    So I pick them up and I can feel the breast bone. Polly is 5mths and Penny about 4mths. they run around quite happy and poo looks normal and they are drinking. It's just they don't seem to want their chick feed and anything I tempt them with other than cheese. What can I do.

    Getting enough food.

    Hi my 2 Isa Browns free range from dawn to dusk in the back yard. They have laying mix, which they seem to just pick out sun flower seeds and leave the rest. They don't seem interested in anything else I try them with. They like cheese. I'm worried they are not eating enough. Polly is laying...

    Poo

    Hi took her to the Vet this morning. He's my local vet and has treated my other girls in the past. He confirmed it was coccidiosis and she may have had it a while and what we see in the pool was the lining of her stomach. She is in a restful place now. Have antibiotics for my other chick Polly...
