Turmeric and Organic kelp

[SA&P]

You can chop it up and offer it free choice as they know how much they need. If you add it to their food you may overdo it and end up with garlicky tasting eggs. My girls went crazy for it the first time I have them some.

An egg a day is great going for a Silkie!

Thank you.
I know....got another two eggs today!! They’re working very hard. Maybe it’s because they’ve just started laying. It may tail off as the year progresses, I don’t want them worn out. A friend of my sons is waiting for a clutch of their eggs to hatch so I’ll be a Very Proud mom, hopefully, this year!

I either crush a garlic clove and throw in their waterer or when I make them scrambled eggs I put in some garlic powder (make sure it isn't garlic salt!) along with some dried oregano. Yeah, they are spoiled!

Great, thank you.
Haha....when it snowed I gave them porridge and they LOVED IT!!

I use New Country Organics Kelp for my chickens Thorvin Kelp is: • The finest Certified Organic nutrient source on the market today; • Contains a range of minerals and vitamins often deficient in soils and feed; • Has a broad array of uses in agriculture and product formulations. AS AN ANIMAL FEED INGREDIENT: • Average intake levels on a free choice basis (per head per day) • Cattle - (Beef and Dairy) - 2 to 4 oz • Heifers & Calves - 1 to 2 oz • Goats and Sheep - 1/2 oz • Horses - 1/2 oz • Dogs – ½ to 1 teaspoon per animal per day • Cats – ¼ teaspoon per animal per day • Poultry – 1-2% of feed ration Healthy animals require a balanced diet, including many vitamins and minerals not found in today’s forages or feeds. Kelp is a valuable renewable resource for animal health. Kelp concentrates the nutritious minerals dissolved in ocean water into a complex natural food supplement containing over 60 vitamins, minerals, and amino acids in a readily available form, including iodine. Absorbable iodine, deficient in many soils, grasses and feeds, is essential for healthy thyroid function. FERTILIZER APPLICATION: • 200 to 500 lbs. – Broadcast per acre • 200 to 500 lbs. – In the row per acre • 10 lbs. to 30 lbs. - Per 1000 sq. ft. of garden • 1 teaspoon – Per 6 inch pot for houseplants • 10 lbs. to 20 lbs. - Per ton of compost Kelps are among the most useful species of seaweeds. The most valuable kelps grow in cold, mineral-rich waters and grow more slowly. These kelps collect minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and other beneficial bioactive properties. Thorvin carefully captures and preserves these nutrients using the most effective drying and storing methods in order to deliver the most consistently effective products derived from these kelps. Thorvin requires superior selection, management, harvesting and processing to meet its standards.
