    Which are the most EFFICIENT layers between the leghorn, comet, ISA and sexlinks?

    I always hear the best layers are these. Idk if this is the same thing but im looking for most efficient layers. The ones that produce eggs with as little feed as possible. I dont care if they dont lay everyday. We have quite a bit of space with lots of weeds, bugs, compost, eggshells, oyster...

    Sudden death in silkie

She had water and plenty of shade and the rest of the hens did fine except for her. I didnt notice she had any off behavior except she was losing...

    Can i line the brooder floor with paper towels or paper?

    I used to line the floor of the brooder with shredded paper or shavings but then wondered why cant i just use paper sheets or paper towels? I find its much easier to clean and when they make a mess of their food, they can easily pick at it. I figure theyll eventually learn to scratch later on...

    Not feeding lay mash when chickens arent laying

    I have a friend that claims its unnecessary to feed chickens the laying food when they're not laying. I found this really questionable. Im assuming they chickens are using this time to build up energy so that when it does become spring, they will lay. Is it safe to say that if my friend keeps...

    Scraps, lay mash

    I have a friend who criticizes me for feeding my chickens weeds, food scraps and anything else that isnt lay mash. His logic is that lay mash is already fornulated perfectly and that any additional food would disrupt the exact proportion of nutrients required for egg laying. Thoughts? Note: i...
