They like water for sure, only reason I haven’t tried lacing water with calcium ... or feed , is because of my drake, i hear its bad, but exactly what does too much calcium do to them?

so assuming this works, what then? switch to layer feed? I have tried every treat I can think of, these guys have been foragers all along and don't get in on feed time. I sprinkled meal worms on top of the calcium bowl, I have out 3 oyster shell bowls for their convenience, tried a different...

we dosed them tonight, .8 per bird, it was too traumatic to weigh them, so I guessed on average weight. I found a soft shell in the water bucket that is in their coop, seems they are everywhere. ugh. I only dosed the welshies, I was considering my pekin, but decided to follow advice and try them...

1Ml/bird /day? Or should I try a bit more?

Ugh, 8 eggs this morning, then another sunny side up out by the water bucket. I really have no idea who is the one doing it. I have one pekin molting, looks like heck but acts “normal for her” otherwise. Had a half shell egg this weekend. i ran out of peas last night, so for lack of them I...

8 nice hard eggs this morning I am going to try again with the meal worms.

I double dosed knowing they wouldn’t get all of it, but i dod coerce them to eat some calcium laced mealworms tonight, little mealworms, calcium and some water, what they didn’t take from the dish they picked off the ground when i tossed it to them. It...

so, today I found a sunny side up egg in the yard, I tried lacing mealworms with liquid calcium, try as I might I couldn't get the welshes to eat much, maybe a little, but not much, tonight I am going to isolate them and try again with the mealworms and calcium. I tried a different kind of...

I thought about buying some, easier said than done here, about 2-3 weeks ago a major bakery with lots of branches closed without warning... just so happens they owned the company that supplies worms and night crawlers to all the local stores... not saying it cant be done but its not as easy as...

My 2 new Welsh Harlequins are maybe 2 ish years old, and seem fairly well integrated at this point, they have been here perhaps a month, at first they were little egg laying machines, but it has tapered off lately out of 9 hens i get 7-8 eggs, that wouldn’t bother me, but recently i have found...
