This past week they dropped to 3 eggs, then 2, now I'm down to only 1 egg a day. I live in the south, so it is very hot right now, temps around 90-100, and very...

    A few of my chickens have gotten pale combs. Their going through a molt right now, so I was wondering if that is the cause or if their is something else wrong.

    Chickens lacking nutrients

    I have lost 3 hens in the past 3 days, they kept falling down, then they died by the next morning. I was wondering if this could have been caused by them lacking some nutrients. Please any help will be appreciated.

    Fodder

    I've been feeding fodder to my chickens for over a year now, I've mainly fed them that and nothing else. I've done some more research, and it looks like I can use it as a supplement, but not as the sole source of feed. Is that right, do I need to pick up some more layer feed, and feed them...

    Whenever I fed my chickens a few ago I noticed one hen kept losing her balance, her legs would give way a little, and she was using her wing to support herself.
