I give fermented feed along with their regular layer feed. I found giving fermented feed ahout 3x a week helped them during the winter time since they can't be free ranged as easily. I noticed they seem fuller waste feed less and didn't seem as stressed. I also found that flock raiser has had...

i use lime, i sprinkle it on the coop floor then put bedding over the top. i use it for all ages, done very well. it takes care of bugs, moisture, smell. birds don't seem to be affected at all.
We ddnt get anything but wet this time around! Went out this morning and everyone is good, pens are a little wet but not to bad. the nice weather will dry it out very quickly. Ive been thinking of everyone that was hit very hard these last few days. I just hope that the nasty stuff is behind us...
AR Chick,
I don't have any pea chicks right now. They just only started laying. I always check fertility right now. I usually take $15.00 a chick unless you buy 6+ at a time. Peas are very hard to get started and to keep alive. I sell eggs too but not just yet. I am checking fertility right now...
Here's the ones I just hatched, they go to their new home tomorrow. Sad to see them go but making more room for the others that are fixing to hatch.
BTW: I've got pea hatching eggs if anyone is interested
