Is this what you got?

It certainly says it is for chickens and it notes not to use it for guinea-pigs because of the eucalyptus - so I am guessing it is OK to use.

Hello again

Would you mind telling me how you knew or guessed where I purchased this hemp from please? Surley this eucalyptus is not only solely sold from this company.

The money would be tough but we have had cases where the dog dies and we can't bear that

My friend has taken up the vets offer . I am hoping for the best

That feels like a good idea to me. I'm not certain anyone here has any experience with it. I think we were all waiting to see how it went for you.

I've used hemp, which I like, but only the plain stuff. I have no idea how you would add eucalyptus to it or why you would consider that a good idea.

Could we get a picture of it in the block holder? I may want to do this.

I'll take one tomorrow. It's a really good little holder.
They have pecked a good quarter of the alfalfa block, which also contains wheat maize, grit and oyster shell.

I like to add a sprig of lavender and rosemary. I really think the Eucalyptus would become to overwhelming for them.

Thanks very much for letting me know you have used this hemp. I'm getting a swap over next week, I do hope not to lose too much money. This should last me the entire year. . I find bulk usually works out much more economical.

I Found a Vet.

After 8 years of having chickens, I found a vet that will see them and treat them as pets, not livestock. She is 20 minutes from our house.

The timing could not be better as I wait for Hattie to poo. I believe that some wellness checks will be coming up shortly if nothing else!

Oh!! Which one?!

T Y. I wasn't very helpful, I'm afraid. I can't always get hemp on the island & usually end up with sugar cane mulch, which I don't really like, but is cheap & readily available.
