MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

I've got some photos to share.

Janet taking her morning snooze This time I didn't wake her.

Last night Mary was incredibly glossy! That's down to the new pellets I guess.

And again Blossom kept Ivy company as she came out of her trance.

Thank you all for your response. I was getting worried so thank you for acknowledging that this is not normal. The calcium I have for the water has Vitamin D in it as well. I have investigated and the shell grit I use is equivalent to oyster shell. My task for today is to try and find a vet who knows something about birds/chickens. I will update you all once I have made some progress. This is one of those times when it is such a privilege to have access to people who know a lot about chickens. I have an action plan.

It's a good one too!

Vitamin D in humans. I think it's actually manganese in chickens that helps with absorption.

I have a feeling manganese is in bananas. Does anyone know for sure?

Gorgeous Photos MJ!! This is one time when I am very fortunate to live in Melbourne. There is a group of Bird Specialist vets 20 minutes from my house. They specialise in all birds from rare parrots to chickens. I just collected today's egg and it was a perfect hard shell egg. I will make an appointment with the vet to check them out and to have Schnitzel checked out as well just in case.

That is magnesium. Bananas and chocolate are good sources. But manganese is different

Today's breakfast is unusual. I broke with habit because i was out of milk (I've been working too much lately). I was halfway through making panfried eggs on vegemite toast when the neighbours donated a jug of milk for my cuppa
