Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Thank you both so much for taking the trouble to check that for me. You are both very kind.
Yes, I think I will do just as you suggested. Besides the difference in dosages, the stuff my partner got doesn't have any amino acids which I think would help her with the molting (the methionin). I'll order my usual vitamins right away.
I've been unlucky lately with deliveries probably because they've overwhelmed at Christmas, 30 kg of my cats pellets are lost somewhere as well as the mite powder I ordered for Merle. Let's hope it goes better this time!

I am having similar. Lord knows where my electric fence battery is!

In reading the labels, (without a science understanding, but with a cooking perspective), my reaction is to cut the dosage o the new stuff. While you're waiting on the shipping ... are there foods that supply those thing missing from the new that you can give her as "treats"? For myself, I've found that vitamin deficiencies in me respond better when I increase foods high in those vitamins over taking pills (including gummies)

Yes, good idea I can give them scrambled eggs for methionin. Egg is one of the food with a very high methionin content, no wonders hens need it so much.
My ex-batts are eating almost only layer feed now. There's not much grass in winter in their yard, and anyway they don't want to come out of the coop for long because they are scared. I could germinate lentils for them also. The only fresh vegetables we have left apart from squashes and pumpkins is kale, and some hard to chew chards and radishes tops.

Hard to chew is an unfortunate expression for a hen I realize .

I found some old videos of my chickens. I think I will share some of them for New Year celebration.

Here is 4 babies chirping and dust bathing from half a year ago.

Thank you, that was so fun to watch! Nothing like a chirping baby...nor a good chicken dust bath. Funny how they all wanted that upper left corner....kids, lots of box left!!!!
