Hi Roughlee,
Just been reading your thread about incubating eggs, the experience of hatching your own eggs by far out ways the cost of the incubator, I’ve had my incy for 6 months and it’s great fun, although 21 days seems to drag when you have eggs in.
Sorry back to your questions,
In the pen I have 3 hens and a cock, all around 11 months old
They are eating fine, they get about 150g of layer pellets and some greens in the morning and in the evening a handful of corn each, still in the same run they have been in for 6 months.
There poo seems ok, I’ve had a look at auntys poo thread and checked, no change in their diet and have just finished worming them.
I gave them a dose of spot on about 5 months ago, it’s for external and internal parasites, however I have not checked recently but will do this afternoon, if there are no crawlies any other ideas?
Thanks for the quick reply
And good luck with the incubating, fingers crossed for your first hatch
