I'm sure she got the sulmet. We lost a hen a few weeks ago and another hen was acting sick. That's why we started them on sulmet. She does seem to be better today. She finally started eating. We will keep a close eye on her.
Can you recommend some vitamins? We haven't been giving them any. I asked at the store where we get our feed and the clerk said we didn't need to supplement with the feed we use. Thanks for your help!
