    Feeding a nonlaying hen

    Hey all, thanks for helping with my flock. The girls REALLY appreciate it! My lone EE has stopped laying. Its been at least a 10 days. Is it okay for her to eat the 16% feed? She's a tough bird, but I thought I had heard chatter about the high protein being bad for non layers. Also, I mix...

    Seeded with clover?

    Hi all, we,‘ve been working on our setup and we are almost there! I have about 4 weeks until my chicks move in their cop and run, so I have seeded the whole run with clover. Has anyone tried this? I figure it may be well rooted and tall by the time the chicks move in. I’m seeing lots of...
