    Adult game breed hen intermittently star gazing

    She normally gets growers with oyster shell as none of her coops hens were laying ,maybe with some layers a couple of days because the snow halted a delivery ,but we had a lot of days when it snowed a lot and was bitterly cold so they have had more corn than normal because the pellets just...
