Is it just my girls...?

That don't like Poultry Spice? They could really use extra vitamins as they don't look the best still but whenever I add it to the feed they just turn their beaks up. I even made up a mash with it, but no. I keep reading about everyones hens really loving it but mine don't.
In fact they are off their food full stop and don't seem to be eating as much as they should be . I 've stopped the extra stuff in the hope that they'll decide that if that's all that's on offer the'll have to go for it.
Can't be having fussy chooks!!

Mine aren't eating many pellets at the mo either. Maybe there's a lot of stuff in the garden for them. They don't seem to notice poultry spice, maybe you're using too much of it and it taints the food?? Mine are moulting and look a bit ropey too, I've heard people recommend garlic porridge as a pick me up, maybe they'd like that? Or chopped hard boiled eggs in mash (pellets moistened in water) - mine really go for that.

Net-tex do a vitamin powder which has different smell from Poultry Spice and there's also Battles poultry tonic which you can add to the water or theres another one for the water - I think its made by verm-x.

Thanks for that.

Try sprinkling it on moistened stale cake or bread. My lot are gluttons for a wee bit of cake.
