    Not laying - what type of food?

    My lovely chickens are getting older and have stopped laying eggs. I have been giving them layer pellets. Is there a different pellet food that is better for them now that they aren’t laying? Also, what protein content is best? I think 16% and 18% are the options at my shop. Thanks so much!!

    Runny poopy bum

    Our beautiful chicken has a very poopy bum. She seems to be still moving well and scratching in the soil during the day. We would love some advice about what might be causing this and what to do! I’ve attached a photo. Thanks so so much
