    ⠀ Eggs with out shells

    We have found yolk in our laying boxes and thought a hen was eating them. Today we found an egg with such a fine shell you could see through it and another broken egg with just a limp cloth like shell. I have been adding Oyster shell to each feeding until recently when I switched to a crumble...

    What crumbles are at least 22% protein?

    I'm having trouble finding crumble over 16% protein. Any suggestions on brands to look for that I could purchase at a local feed store or grange coop? Thank you

    Chickens not laying very often and they are still young

    I have faith in my girls! They are looking so good lately and I think after a good vacation from the factory they will resume...perhaps not like they did in the pit of hell factory but we don't need that many eggs anyway.

    I have an organic crumble for layers 16% protien. I have no clue if that is good. I'll have to research that as well unless you have advice...I'll welcome it. I may be giving them too many treats. It was so hot here for over a week. I'll just relax about it.

    Well, it seems early to molt, I have no idea when that begins, and I did look for nest in their yard. I guess I'll have to ride it out. First few weeks with them so we are all new to each other and this chicken world.

    Chickens not laying very often and they are still young

    I just adopted some factory rescue chickens and in the first few days they laid 4 to 5 eggs daily (5 hens). The next week or so has been around 106 to 108 degrees and the eggs dropped to 2 and 3 a day. Now the weather has been in the 80's for two days and still 2 eggs. I feed them lots of...

    I've had them for a week now and I just adore them. They are doing great and thriving. I am amazed at how easy they are and how fast they have taken to us. They are not afraid or nervous about anything. I think they know they have landed a pretty good life here. :)

    New chicken mother

    Hi, I'm a new mother of 5 Leghorn hens that were rescued from a factory farm. I picked them up from Animal Place in Grass Valley and I've been a bit of a fussy, nervous hen myself but my girls seem very content and have taken to the coop and their yard just fine. One of them already follows me...
