    Wasn't sure how to word this. I have 7 hens - only one has started laying. All are fed grower crumbles. I read somewhere that it is okay to keep them all on crumbles and then when one starts to lay to put out oyster shell. My understanding is that only the one who is laying will eat the...

    Bare Butt Hen

    I bought 6 hens 2 weeks ago from the same place. Not sure of their ages but they do differ in size somewhat. Some were missing a few feathers in back end but one looks entirely bald. She is eating fine and has plenty of energy. None of these chickens are laying yet. I thought I was going to...
