Hello,
is it necessary to feed our hens 3 grain scratch everyday outside of them getting their layer feed, they roam the yard all day,
getting the bugs and whatever else the find.
Thanks

One of our leghorns laid her egg I brought it in the house bumped it on the inside
of the egg carton, it put a hole in the shell, I washed it off to give ton one of my cats, the shell crackled, I tried
to peel the shell, I could not get it to peel very easy, I had to make a real effort, when I...
Update: Our Black sex link who was having the issue of laying eggs with a hole at one end has now start laying her egg normal.
Glad it solved its self.
We have a black sex link that lays eggs now that end up with a hole in it the size of the writing pen, one egg had
a thin piece of shell hanging from the hole, today's egg had a nice size hole letting the white run out.
She is going on three this coming fall. She had been laying eggs without any...
Update: I went outside to put the Shepherd in a closed in area, I heard this thump I looked up and saw two of the leghorns in a mix tub, I knew the tube has hay in it, I put the dog back in the house and peeked out the window and there was three hens in that box, two of the leghorns and a RIR...
We have ten hens only two are laying right now. Three have not even started to lay their first egg yet, two decided
that it is time to molt, one had not laid since June. Five are about two 1/2 two are about 1 1/2.
They all are free range, my husband seems to think that we need to give them our...
Our RIR laid just a yolk this morning, she has always laid the whole egg, she was quite when I let the hens out
this morning, I know that after they lay their egg they stand still for a while than take off like they are on fire.
She is usually the first one at the door fussing to get out, she...
We have three leghorns that we took a clipped a wing a piece to stop them from flying over the fence, when that did
not help we went back and clipped that wing more thinking we did not clip enough off the first time. Well I saw our biggest
one walking the fence this AM, anyone have any...
Only white no yolk ruff shell, shell thickness was fine but of course twisted. We have two sex link one is red the other black so
I think it is one of the two because they lay that color of egg the other 8 do not. Of the two one has laid a tiny egg at a 1/4 the size of
a regular egg, it too was...
When I went to gather eggs yesterday this is one of the eggs I got, I'm pretty sure it comes from our red sex link
Any ideas what is going on with her, she is barely 2 yrs. all hens roam in the yard all day, have water, grit, oyster shell, sunflower seeds, a nice seed mix, layer feed, to eat at...

I am convinced that the Leghorns we bought 3 weeks ago are not leghorns at all but roadrunners in disguise.
If they even see us in the window they run across the yard. Sometimes they run across the yard to get treats
but only it is from a safe distance. Maybe by the end of next month they will...
Well I just watched our hens playing keep away with a Garter snake, funny to see them snatch it from one hen then the other hens
chase that hen, I think that snake has traveled about a mile now without even being on the ground.
It has been six days the leghorns are doing well, running away every time they see a person even if they see you in the window they
take off running. If I even look like I'm coming their way they run. The first day we had to block their escape route so we could get them into the coop after that...
I got the three leghorns, little girls I thought that they were a big chicken guess that is just the cartoon.
Can anyone tell me which is it for the weather climate, one place on here I read can tolerate all weather type
then another place no the leghorns can not tolerate all weather type. This...
Hi,
I'm trying to decide between getting leghorns or plymouth barred rock. I have read that leghorns are noisy and flighty are the
leghorn louder then a RIR do they make a lot of noisy all the time, or is it just once in a while. Our RIR makes a fuss every so often
but it is not non stop. Is...
Update, I have found what I was looking for, thanks to all who read my post.
