    Grit Question?

    Hey guys. So I have a quick question. When buying grit for baby chicks, should I mix it in with the crumble or have it set in another dish? Also, is there a certain age I should feed it to them at? And how much should I feed them? They are under a week old. Thanks!

    Hen is always squaking. Why?

    I have an EE and shes about 2 and 1/2 years old. She always is walking around the yard squaking. She's fed and watered an she always has a place to lay eggs. Her egg laying has decreased, so could she have troubles with laying eggs? Is there something wrong or is she just a noisy bird? Thanks.
