Hi all,
I was just buying some dolomite lime for my garden and ran into a fellow backyard chooker, who told me it's great for the chooks as well, for their dustbaths and also in their feed. So I've been searching for information on how much to feed them (as one of my chooks is laying rather fragile eggs, despite plenty of shell grit), but have come up blank, which makes me suspicious...

Does anyone know about this?

Thanks
Kirsten

LOTS of misinformation gets repeated, because people BELIEVE things are true just because "someone TOLD them"

Dolomite is Calcum and Magnesium, and they get both of those from normal feeds.
It's not necessary to add Dolomite to get more
 
There is no reason to the calcium and Magnesium beyond what the chicken actually needs..

We hear and read all sorts of false chicken "advice". Some of it, like this bit, is harmless but useless, some is ridiculous yet still harmless but once in a while we get advice that, if followed, would be out and out dangerous.

We should start a thread for things that we have heard or read.
