Hey everyone, haven't been on here for a while, see a lot of new comers! Welcome! :D doing good here. My chickens are laying very well right now. Hope everyone is getting lots of eggs also. I'm not getting any new chicks thus spring have enough that's laying that I'm not in on bitties right now...
That's a plus! Are they laying where you want them to or are they laying randomly in yard? And are they protected from flying predators? Hawks owls and buzzards are lethal. Good luck hope they all start laying soon. God bless

What are you feeding them? I am having good luck with mine by mixing lay pellets, lay crumbles, and scratch all together. They are getting a balanceof everything, and are laying good even in this heat.

As to runny eggs mine are sometimes too. I've found that I mix my feed with lay pellets, crumbles, and chick grower with scratch. I mix it all together and feed my laying hens they seem to be thriving on that and are laying well. Worth a try? Mobile home is coming along, got both bedrooms living...
