Also can anyone suggest some reasonably priced layer pellets which are decent quality & I want to put a bit of fat on my hens for the winter, any suggestions ? They have an endless supply of layer pellets & treats in the afternoon like cheese( a small bit each) bananas, cucumber , sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds & I was giving them henergise which they became violent to get to! So I stopped that! I give them mealworms at times, they have approx 300 m2 with grass & soil. I am sure they have lost weight since we got them 5 weeks ago, do you think it's because they are so busy? I am worming them next week with marriages flubenvet pellets. I know it's not good to have fat hens but maybe a little fatter for winter? It's so hard to know what's best for them, they are laying just about everyday as well, help?.......
