it gives added calcium too, I think that the most recommended one is calcium citrate, @azygous can give you information on that better than I can as haven't really used it.
They get Flock Raiser because of the ducks and treats 1or 2 times a day (flax seeds, BOSS , lettuce, cabbage, meal worms, watermelon, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, pasta, rice , alfalfa ) plus they free range. I think they’re pretty spoiled.Yes, it very much sounds like a new layer hiccup from the reproductive track coming online and working out its' kinks, that should resolve itself... IF you are providing adequate nutrition.
Your eggs are beautiful, congrats on your new layer!
well that much treating will unbalance their diet and can affect them, Treats should not exceed 10% of the feed they get in a day. and don't see calcium source listed at all
This community is very unique. Glad to be part of it. I did learn quite bit just by reading through the forums.
Noooo it’s just a little bit 1 or twice a day depending on what I have in the refrigerator. They don’t get all of that at once.
What would be a treat with calcium source?
oh ok lol, sorry lacking caffeine and in pain here with it cold and raining, vbut you still need to have osyster shell or give the hens Calcium in some form to help them get the kinks worked out faster
I have it out free choice and refill as needed, sometimes I scatter it to them like you would scratch grains,for the calcium the roosters ducks extra won't eat it unless they are feeling a little low
Oyster Shells are available to them all the time in a bowl next to the food. I hope you feel better.
