Lovely little cooing sounds of appreciation...

cos I fed my laydees warm mashed potatoes, broccoli, poultry spice and their corn ration mixed in.

I made the mistake of licking some off my fingers, it was vile. The girls loved it though. Myrtle even stayed on the perch until it was all finished

I spoon fed them 'cos they plunged their heads in the other day and I thought they'd suffocate. If anyone had seen us I think they'd have P'd themselves laughing

lol!

What's actually in Poultry Spice? I've seen it for sale but never really picked one up and looked...

[Flummery]

It contains quite a bit of limestone flour and some minerals. It's also got spices in which makes it smell a bit sort of anniseedy.

Poultry Spice contains Minerals, Micronised wheat, Powdered Ginger, Turmeric, Fenugreek and Aniseed.

It smells heavenly. Chooks like the taste (I don't).

They've politely requested a napkin on which to wipe their beaks as they think it is very common to have to 'wing off' the mash

My lot are common Eco, they use their next door chook, or me

Does poultry spice make a difference to their egg laying?

[Eco-Chic]

Not to the taste, if that's what you mean Petal.

It's a supplement so aids their general wellbeing.

I think it's particularly good for them when they are moulting - which they always seem to do in cold weather!
