I have been reading every post as I had a question about eggs also. I only have three hens, Rhode Island Reds. When I first got them, about a month ago, all three would lay avery day. About a week ago, I only get two eggs daily. I watched each hen, and I know which one is not laying. She is the...

I play guitar, have an old Applause I like. I am a avid Billy Joe Shaver fan. Anything early country(classic country they call it). Taught myself, but a long way from pro.

Thank you for that. I just didn't know if the lime would be good for the hens or the eggs. Covering with sand sound like a good idea. I'll do that and let you know. Thanks again.

I found an egg last week that was real thin and had a soft spot on it. I thought it was just because they were young chickens. Now the eggs are hard shell but thin. Thanks a lot for the advice on the vitamins.
