Akslade2013- I'm having the same problem with a hen right now. If you go clear back to the beginning of this thread there is some great info from RooRidgefarms. ;)
I'm not new to backyard chickens, just don't ever post anything. but I sure need some advice... I just bought 3 - 2year old hens. 2 are eating ok but not much meat on their bones. One is not eating and is total skin and bones. I brought her in the house where its warm and have tried everything...
Is it ok to use DE around any age chicken? I have some all the way from 3 weeks to 2 yrs old. Does anyone just use DE for mites or do you dust with poultry dust as well?
