Dave


I agree with ya Dave on the UV bulbs. Definitely not mandatory. I get zero sunlight directly through my back windows so I use thevfull spectrum bulbs. You are right the birds look great under them. But I always follow up with Vitamin D supplements. I just dont trust the bulbs accuracy in duplicating natural sunlight.

Hen's are two years old and no egg binding, something is working.

Plus boiled egg. People forget how high in vitamin D the meat of the egg is...and when you add the shells or shaved cuttle bone on top, its a nice, natural way for calcium absorption.
