    First Cull, Didn't go so well

    Oh how awful for you. My husband and I discussed if he could do the deed before we rescued our girls. She’s at peace now and that’s the main thing.

    Can’t eat hard foods

    I just had bacon in the fridge. It’s not a normal thing for them. should they be having layers pellets even if they aren’t laying at the moment? wetting them sounds like a good idea. I’m just new to chickens and just want them to be healthy.

I’ve been pureeing their veggies, feeding them a mixed grain as they are not laying due to malt and giving them protein. I was also told to give them calcium so...
