    Is purina feed okay?

    Kalmbach makes a 20% layer feed Full Plume & Feathering & Purina makes a 19% Layer Feed. If you are thinking Purina dog food & Purina chicken feed are made by the same company they are not.

    Help with feed selection

    People who buy organic think they are better, LOL. You proved my point about the organic naysayers need to bash organic. Your opinion.

    Help with feed selection

    I am always amused when people put down organic because they don't want to pay the premium or they don't like it. They always go on to denigrate it to justify their decision. Some people see value in organic. I would buy any local organic product over conventional every time if I could. Don't...

    Chicken feed

    I am feeding Kalmbach 20% Full Plume & Feathering Feed. I always feed 18-20%. This is a layer feed. Got this from Chewy for $22 a bag just a bit more than the $21 I pay for Kalmbach Flock Maker locally. Chewy's price was a special for doing autoship so I won't be getting it there again. I could...

    Faulty hen? 7month old hen still not laying

    Any Easter Egger I have ever had started at around 5 months like all the rest of my breeds. Are you sure she is not laying, as she could be laying a brown egg.

    Rate of Lay in Correlation to Longevity of Lay

    Don't know if rate of lay makes them stop sooner, but chickens stop laying before they ever run out of eggs.

    Mean and very aggressive towards the new chicks

    If you waited until 8 weeks to integrate it is really too late to go smoothly. Most would then wait until they were the same size. It's easiest to integrate at 3-4 weeks allowing for an escape place that only the chicks can fit into. This is only feasible if the chicks are incubated in the coop...

    How Much do you all feed your chickens?

    I believe chickens are said to eat 4 ounces by weight, not 1/2 cup by volume. Always go by weight,

    Feed change?

    7 birds * ,25 of feed per day * 35 days (5 weeks) would be 61.25 lbs. That is for grown birds, so yours may eat more. 50 lbs. is no too much.

    Costco Chicken Feed Is It Good?

    Purina chicken feed is made by Land O Lakes. It has nothing to do with the pet food company owned by Nestles. Hasn't for decades.

    What your chickens can and can't eat!

    Thankful that there were no lists back in 1993 when I started with chickens. Sorry, not sorry.

    Grain

    I've fed Nature's Best Organic at times & even though the layer is 16%, the chickens laid more. Your experience may be different, but it is not proven that they less on organic feed.

    Early Molt in first year?

    I had three times in 30 years that this happened. I have 6 Anconas hatched 4/12 & they started to molt in December & haven't laid an egg since 12/6. They are supposed to be good winter layers. I have no idea why it happens.

    What do you give your hens for protein?

    Nature's Best makes a 20% organic all flock that is available at my TSC. Not meat bird, but a good protein level.

    why are my chickens not laying eggs

    I got a chuckle out of the talk of cold weather. Eastern PA has had maybe 3 days of cold weather. It has been cloudy & rainy for the last month. I miss when we had real winters, long ago.
