    Using liquid Calcium Citrate 1000mg

    I ferment a pint size jar in the morning on top of the dry layer feed. I was using grower feed but thought I was supposed to switch when they started laying eggs. I do have oyster shells available at all times. Not sure what free feeding is. I’m not able to let them free range as I have dogs...

    Using liquid Calcium Citrate 1000mg

    So I cut out the treats for 2 days and my egg production is way down now! Only 1 egg today. I had been getting an average of 4 eggs a day. Don’t chickens need protein in the winter to produce eggs?

    Using liquid Calcium Citrate 1000mg

    It’s only the one who is laying soft shell eggs. I only have 5 hens. Feeding a combination of layer feed with quinoa (with tablespoon of broccoli stems) along with fermented layer mash, and black oil sunflower seeds.

    Using liquid Calcium Citrate 1000mg

    I appreciate the information! I’m so thrilled to still be getting eggs during winter that I’m trying to spoil my girls. But sounds like that’s backfiring on me. Thank you!!

    Rubber eggs

    I’m having trouble with an 8 month old cinnamon queen who consistently lays soft shell eggs each day. I try to get them first thing in the morning so the other girls don’t eat it. But I’m concerned this is not stopping after a month or more of laying. I have oyster shells in the run and also...

    Have you tried WinCo Organic Layer Feed?

    So are the pellets better than scratch & peck layer feed?

    Golden Comet, will I have to clip their wings?

    Can’t we just clip one of the wings so they’re uneven? I thought this was a thing. I just got more golden comets after my dogs decided to try to play with them and killed my flock of 5. Please let me know if I need to clip both sides or if one will do. Thank in advance
