    Can pullets that are 30 weeks but haven’t laid their first egg have layer feed?

    Thank you! I will keep giving them the all-flock and oyster shells on the side until everyone is laying. Appreciate the advice!

    Can pullets that are 30 weeks but haven’t laid their first egg have layer feed?

    I have 2 younger girls that are 30 weeks old. They haven’t laid their first egg yet. I believe it’s because it’s cold here in Idaho. Can I give them layer feed? Or do I wait for that first egg? I have been feeding my flock all flock for now because I have had mixed ages. But just wondering what...

    Dark spots on combs

    They are all in good health! The only symptom is the small dark spots.

    Dark spots on combs

    I can post more pictures if needed. I am a first year chicken owner and want to make sure I take the best care possible of my girls. I did try and google it but there are so many different things that I thought I would ask fellow chicken lovers instead.

    Dark spots on combs

    A few of our girls have some small dark spots on their combs but also their nostrils? Is it just dirt from there dirt baths? Or do we think it is something more serious?

    Weird egg

    We got a weird egg today with basically no shell? It was from a pullet. I have a flock with older and younger birds so I am feeding starter feed. I read that you cater the feed to the youngest age. Is this correct? Do you think maybe they aren’t getting enough calcium for their eggs? Or is it...

    Chickens fighting over a preferred nesting box

    Two have been fighting. No one is hurt but it did make me nervous for a second. I think I am going to just watch there behavior and make sure it doesn’t get two aggressive.

    Chickens fighting over a preferred nesting box

    I have 8 girls and 5 nesting boxes but they all fight over one of them even if all the others are open. I have put fake eggs in some of the others in hopes they will want to use them but they still all prefer one over the rest. Any suggestions?

    Starlight green egger hen or roo?

    Just curious now that it’s been some time. Was your a rue or a pullet? I also have a SGE that I am unsure about that’s looks almost exactly like yours at 8 weeks.
