    My hens have lost lot of feathers. I treated for mites/lice and giving Sulmet for possible fungus. I read not to eat eggs for 10 days. Is it ok if I scramble them and feed them to hens since they're on Sulmet anyways?

    Thick egg shells

    Why are my egg shells so thick? When you break them you always have to pick little pieces out of the bowl. I feed them layer pellets and throw in a cup of scratch daily. They have grit all the time.

    Yogurt?

    How much yogurt, as a probiotic, should I give seven 7-9 wk old pullets after giving them Sulmet? Unknowingly, I gave them a small yogurt cup as a treat 2 days before I had to start them on antibiotic.
