Funny... because I'm in the same situation. In this case, I suggest you feed everyone "Growers Pellet", which is what I'm doing atm. Only problem is you have thin egg shells overtime and this could be dangerous if the eggs break inside the Hen. I have posted something 1-2 weeks ago and some...

Layer pellets should only be feed from 18 weeks onward when the hens about to lay their eggs. If anytime earlier this could result in internal organ damage due to the high calcium. If I was in this situation, I would feed starter pellets until the point of laying then switch to laying pellets.

Yeah I thought about that one too but what about the growering chickens? they will still be able to reach the feeder. Will calcium damage growing chickens internal development if they were age 2 months+ or are they smart enough to eat it if they "need" it at this age?

Hi, We have a mixed flock of all ages, which consist of baby chicks, growing chicks and some laying Hen. I was wondering, can I put out a self-feeder containing only shells grit for the laying hen? or will the growers get to them? What is the best way to give my hen the calcium they need...

Depending on which breed of Hen you got she can take care of her baby chicks as long as 5 weeks to 13 weeks. You can tell when she is ready to give them up because she stops calling them for food and start to peck them away. She will resume egg laying as soon as she fatten up again after she...

Thanks for the reply ella but i think there's some misunderstanding... its not the "angry" bok bok BOK! bok bok BOK! sound but its the soft and rapid sound like what hens do b4 they lay the egg. It goes like this: BOK.... bok bok bok... BOK.... bok bok bok..... If that make sense? LOL

I don't see why not... its worth a try I got one RIR hen who hatched out 2x chicks but she wasn't a good mother and abandon her chicks at only 5 weeks of age. My batam hen who I let her hatched 8x RIR standard baby chicks three weeks later than the RIR mother hen took these two baby in without...

Hi, I have a 13 week old chicken that looks like a rooster, he has the spikey neck feathers and it looks like it started growing sattle feather but often it makes the "bok.... bok bok bok.... bok bok bok bok bok bok" sound like its about to lay an egg. Is this behaviour of a hen or a rooster...
