    All my Hens and Ducks Have Stopped Laying / Not From Molt

    About two months ago, all of my first year hens quit laying eggs. I have two other small flocks of older hens, and they were still laying and had not yet molted.

    I typically buy grit at the feed store, and I believe it is crushed granite, and the other is oyster shell for their calcium. I am a general contractor though, and have access to a lot of other natural stone from tear outs. I was wondering if you can give chickens crushed marble? or crushed...

( I'm new to chickens. ) I ended up getting a second big bag of it, and it had a lot of powder in it. I would say the feed...

    What are these?

    Anyone have any idea what breed or gender these are? They were supposed to be three Rhode Island Reds, but clearly weren't all three RIRs when I opened the box. They are a few days shy of six weeks. All 3 of them are supposed to be six weeks old on Monday. Those were the white one...

    Help With Problem Chick

    I got three chicks that were supposed to be RIRs, but only one turned out to be RIR. The other two seem to be RSLs, one femal and one male. The white one ( I think it is an RSL male because the other one looks just like a female Golden Commet ) but the white one is five weeks old and VERY...
