Welcome back Jacquie. I bought the super mix and mixed it half with wheat but they seem to have got loose droppings since eating it. Should I dilute it more? perhaps use more pellets. Oh I forgot what chook in their right mind eat pellets if supermix was available!! I love your photos. I am sure your chooks are glad your are back too. Happy New Year. Cheers Linda

hi ibokchook, its an ancona roo, with lots of growing to do to catch up with the rest of him lol. thankyou linda. the loose droppings could be due to hte birds just drinking more water due to the heat.............i don't think it needs to be diluted. my baby silkies in hte above pictures eat it unmixed. in fact today is their first day of trying the normal poultry mix. lol. my birds will still eat pellets, i think they are very strange chooks lol. have a happy new year yourself, and how are your special barnies coming along, i think we need some pictures of them

Welcome back Jacquie where have you been . Your birds are looking great My birds have slightly wetter droppings at the moment and I agree with Jacquie .Birds drinking extra water . Mine are on Super poultry strait /Super poultry &soaked wheat mix /Super poultry and dry wheat or TR poultry mix /some days Red Hen . Cant get them to eat pellets ,they are very good at picking them out of the red hen mix . I end up damping down the pellets they refuse and serve it as a mash . Then is in for one and all ;D ;D ;D ;D

hi anne, i was over east, where i have been staying with my dad who is not so well, but he seems to be getting better now!! mmmmmmmm linda, there is a little button along the top of the full post screen, which has img attached to it. basically you need at teh beginning of your url and [ /img] at the end of your url. (no spaces though) the url is hte address of the picture on the internt. in packages such as photobucket you can copy hte url with the img bits already added on. mmmm not making mjuch sense. 1. you need to have uploaded your pictures toht e internet, somewhere like facebook or photobucket 2. you copy hte url of the picture you have uploaded 3. you paste your url into the wa poultry trader answer box, surrounding it wtih img and /img in square brackets 4. hopefully your picture shows up if this dont make sense let me know and i will try again
