It seems my hens stopped laying at my neighbors and I started feeding them scraps out of the garden, not a problem the last couple of years but this year they got a bunch of tomato scraps. could that have caused it.
THANKS I WAS JUST WORRIED IT WAS THE HEAT. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM ALL ALIVE AND JUST A FEW PROBLEMS WHEN I INTEGRATED THEM, OTHERWISE THEY ARE A RELAXING JOY.
FYI I GOT THE FIRST SIX ON 4/5/012 AND THE SECOND SIX @ 3 WEEKS LATER.
4 BUFFS ( ONE TURNED OUT TO BE ROOSTER OOPS)
2 ISAS
4 BARRED ROCK
2 SILVER LACED WYANDOTTES
I GOT MY FIRST SET OF CHICKENS THIS SPRING AND HAVE STILL NOT GOT ONE EGG. THEY ARE ON LAYING MASH. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS EXTREME HEAT COULD BE PART OF THE PROBLEM?
Hello, I am glad I found this site, but it is rather addictive. I was recently laid off and have been watching all of the stuff on TV about pink slime and other genetic alterations and decided it was time to start becoming self sufficient on my nine acres, as well as, trying to make money...
