    Daylight and egg laying

    I have 2 white chickens. I thought I was buying white leghorns, but now not sure. These hens are white, but around the neck they are almost a cream color and they are smaller than my 3 Golden Comets and lay small eggs. The GC's lay large eggs.

    Wading into enemy territory - my neighbor has 80+ roosters and I'm going mad

    He either "fights" roosters or supplies them to those who do.

    2 questions

    How much grit to feed my 5 2 1/2 week old chicks? Also do chicks use a cuttle bone like a bird to keep their beaks "filed." I've seen a couple of them rub their beaks on the bottom of the box and wondered. My chicks will be indoors for a couple of weeks yet, at least, before they are put...
