    Young hen that started laying then stopped.

    She seemed so much earlier than my others from years past. I am feeding them a layer feed of 18% protein, after they finished their molt everyone looked so pretty and fluffy I just decided to keep them on the Hearty Hen instead of just layer feed. Shes acting perfectly normal. Which I am...
