what breed of chicken layed an intact egg at age 9 please

Exellent!

Ok higher protein with grower than flock raiser?  Which do I choose?  Bag is running low.  Is it like with geriatric dogs where you may not need as high a protein content but a higher quality more digestible protein....

Ok I will adjust.  Cost is not really an issue, only three ladies.  What is the difference between grower and flock raiser?  Puppy chow vs dog chow?

I guess I was thinking of the additional calcium that they maybe dont need as much of now and does the kidney issue come into play again with the older bird as it did with those too young? Thanks

Please excuse me as I have not been here in a very long time so Im sure I missed a thread on this.  Three year old hybrids no longer laying.  Do I switch to flock raiser from layer?  Thanks

How old are your birds?  If they are actively laying you should feed layer crumble or pellet.  I think it goes like this.  From hatch  to 8 weeks feed chick starter.  From 8-18 weeks, maybe a little longer if...

Do you think I am being sappy when I say maybe someone is missing her?  Have you tried fliers at your local feed store or around the neighborhood. 

Nobody believes me but my chickens dont care for tomatoes.  Tried it all last summer.  I hope they learn to like them this summer.  Got five tomatoe plants. 

That is Countryside Organics.  I was so excited when I learned they had drop points close to home.  The ingredients sound impeccable.  But............the chickens didnt like it.  Th   The people were great....
