Thank you. I will do all that. They have oyster shell, but don't touch it much. Not sure why. I have tried it in different places in the run. But not really touching it.
Their feed is 16% protein. They free range twice a day for over an hour each. The one doing the pecking is laying soft shell eggs and the others eat it.
I have 3 hens in a 12x12 area. So plenty of room. Plus they free range. Two are laying eggs now. The third is trying. The one not laying yet is pecking butt feathers off my 1st layer. I don't know why, but when they are free range she doesn't. Is it jealous or what? What should I do? Is it boredom?
I have 3 hens. Two are laying full eggs. The third is laying an egg here and there but soft shell. She has just started pecking feathers out of my other two that are laying. Why is she doing it?
