I have 2 chickens, mine are Orpington's, one black and white, the other is red. I had never had chickens before but decided to give it a try. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my chickens. They just started laying last week, I'm getting 2 eggs a day! I was ecstatic, only 1 egg, but I took picture's of it and sent it to my boyfriend, who has chickens, himself, he just shakes his head, and tells everyone that my chickens are DIVA's! He's right! They don't have a chicken coop, they have a chicken condo! I feed them crumbles and a little scratch, and throw in some dehydrated millworm treats. Now they are laying, should I be feeding them something else? Someone mentioned I should also be feeding some type of crushed oyster suppliment. But I don't know. So please help!
Not sure how to add something to my post, so tell me if I am doing it wrong......UPDATE in my chickens!! I went out to check on them this morning, and figured I'd get another 2 eggs..OH HECK NO, there were 3!! I collected eggs yesterday, never heard of getting more than 1 a day! 2 chickens and 3 eggs! Somebody is working overtime! LOL!!
