    Should I put oyster shell and grit in my hens food?

    i use it mixed in every few refills of the feeder they kick out what they don't want and when i don't see any on the ground i put some more in not alot but a small hand full i guess its about once a month

    hello, just curious how many laying boxes i might need

    Thanks i was also wondering if my coop was a little small but now im not worried about it, and like i said i should end up with less as i have a couple freinds thinking of getting some chickens of their own, so i offerd to give them some of mine.
