    Cream legbar legs

    Thank for replying. They have been laying for just over a month now. They get plenty of veg, mix corn and layers pellets..I have read somewhere that food high in beta carotene helps to yellow the feet and beak.

    I use 20kg compressed bail.. I added the photo of the one I currently use. I wanted to experiment with coco coir. 5kg block expands to 70 litres once a bit of water is added.

    NO EGGS!?

    Managed to cure their runny noses. you can buy antibiotics in powder form. ile check the name and message you. you have to add a teaspoon to a gallon of water and feed your flock. You will see improvement in 2-3 days and within a week they start to eat and drink as normal.
