    What supplements do you give your chickens and why?

    Do you believe in giving suppliments like Apple Cyder and Viniger, poultry spice, Seaweed extract among others? I've tried all of these and find they don't do much for my girls. Nothing beats what they can get scratching around in the garden.

    Animal abuse?!?

    My advice? - Buying the birds would not teach these people anything except that they can get away with animal abuse and would only encourage them to buy more animals in replace of the old ones. You could offer to take the birds off her hands if she can't cope with them or explain to the kids...
