So I've had a gimpy older girl with a swollen/stiff knee. I keep getting her better then she goes back to using only one leg.

Well, now she's stuck in molt mode. I know that's not helping with other issues. Making feathers is always first. Thinking I'd give her a boost I bought mackerel.

OMG why did no one tell me it was whole! :sick I was thinking it would be chunk like tuna or salmon. Nope! Blech...:sick

She ate quite a bit of it. Sprinkled with turmeric to help with the swelling.;)

Oh by the way mackerel is whole in the can.
:gig

I didn't know that either. I appreciate the warning. I bought a bag of chick starter crumble b/c it had a higher protein content & I'm going to mix it w layer pellets. I need to get them some fish, but I haven't made it to the store yet AND remembered to pick it up.

Concrete mixed and poured, should have bought more bags but its a start!
That's how it always is. If you got more you probably still wouldn't have had enough. Murphy's Law.

It is so gross! There was only one option so that's what I got.

I feed feather fixer regularly. I have such a mixed age flock it was the middle of the road I settled on. I leave oyster shell out and give extra protein as needed or when I have it. They love salmon but I read mackerel was better.

Oh what I won't do for my feathered kids!

I can't justify the cost for feather fixer. I put out the oyster shell, but I've noticed that they vastly prefer the egg shells. I think it's funny b/c they get all excited when they see the eggshells. Even my little bantam cockerel has gone in and take a beakfull of them b/c he saw everyone else getting excited for them.
