    Steel Cut Oats and Free Range testimonial

    I'm sure that's part of the reason also, but they haven't laid except for a sporadic egg here and there since last Spring. They had a summer, autumn AND winter shut down.

    Seashells and chicks

    My dad just gave me a bucket of crushed seashells for my chickens. I understand that some owners add it to their feed as a calcium supplement. I have four chicks that are about a month old. I'm interested to know what people think about giving their chickens crushed seashells, and should I...
