My chickens are starting too lay their eggs on the floor of the coop, this behavior just started the bad been using the nesting boxes. Is this normal? Any thing I should do? Thanks

Yes thanks.

Would crusher fines work for my chicken run?

Yes we do. What are the signs of worms?

Is there any reason to put our flock on a monthly / semi annual or any other maintenance de-worming schedule?

Thanks!! That's good cause we produce a fair amount of mash. Was hoping it would be ok as a treat.

I said spent all grain mash...thanks

Even as a treat?

Is feeding spent all grain mash from home brewing be ok for layers? Thanks

God bless women.. I can clean a sewer full of sewer rats pump out a septic tank, jump in a greae trap waist high but **** I dread culling my chickens. My wife..God bless her has the brass tacks to do it.

Yes it was I especially appreciate the detailed reasons why!? LOL!!

Will feeding layers (6 birds) a handful of whole corn every night in addition to their layer feed inhibit egg production?

You are correct the leghorn doesn't care for our attention. I'm hoping for good things from our Australorp.

Thanks... She seems a little meek but that's ok she's coming around. It's funny our leghorn who is by far the smallest of the clan doesn't sweat any of the others she is comfortable in her own skin ain't none of them besting her.
