I have only 2 RIRs that are getting close to laying age. I also have 55 young pullets ranging in age from 6 weeks to 14 weeks. My husband thinks we should put out laying mash. I don't think the majority of the chicks need it and everybody has access to the feeders.
Also would like any opinions on using laying mash. Does it have "hormones" in it to make the hens lay? Does it have to be used at all for a healthy flock of egg layers?
Anxious to hear from everyone.
