It's much easier and more cost effective to feed a 20% all flock diet, with oyster shell in a separate dish, rather than trying to amend a 16% high calcium layer diet for molting birds, who may not be producing many eggs during this time. And sardines? Again, used to be cheap, but not now, and also there's that calcium...
We have a number of white Chanteclers, so molting time looks amazing on the grass right now!
And some birds will be pretty ragged in January, because that's when they decide to molt. It's fine, they do manage okay.
