    My chickens aren’t laying

    I am having that same issue. I have 11 hens and four ducks. My ducks continue to lay daily, but almost all of my hens are not laying. Maybe one day. Yes, some are molting but the majority of them are not. Any suggestions? I am feeding them an all flock feed and they have plenty of space to roam.

    Help-My hens stopped laying…?

    I am having the same issues. Over the past few months, my flock of 11 have laid maybe one egg a day. I thought maybe it was the feed, but my ducks are continuing to lay daily. They are going on a little over two years of age. Would that be it?

    What should I feed my mixed flock of ducks and chickens?

    Will an All Flock Raiser work for my ducks even off it has 20% protein?

    Thank you! Tractor Supply has an All Flock Raiser. They have a few brands that vary in protein and such. I was just wondering what would be best.

    What should I feed my mixed flock of ducks and chickens?

    Thank you for the information. After reading your article, you are suggesting that I buy two different types of feed? My hens eat everything, so they are going to eat the formulated duck feed. There has to be a better solution.

    What should I feed my mixed flock of ducks and chickens?

    Hello all! I am receiving mixed messages about what to feed my flock of chickens and ducks. Some say regular layer feed will work and others are saying that a mixed flock is best. However, the mixed flock I am finding has 20% protein. Are ducks allowed to have that much protein? My ducks...
