Yeah, she gets that too. She's not crazy about it, but she'll eat it.
Today I saw her chasing and eating some bugs, so maybe there's hope for her yet.​

I was reading this post because my six pullets have been laying great. I feed them gamebird food and let them freerange in afternoon,plus treats and greens. But, I am surprised how bony they feel.
Hardly any meat on their little breast bones. Feathers look great. You mention head shaking, should I think about worming?
