Thanks so much, Hennamedjen! I will try that!

I've been trying to post a photo from my iPad. I read a thread about it, so I downloaded the BYC app, but I still can't post photos. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

LOL, groverlvchx!!!! Our hens have not been laying lately and had problems with losing feathers. Sold a few, put some in a different pen to cut down on overcrowding. Changed brand of feed. Bought diatomaceous earth just in case they have parasites. Now I'm gonna give them cayenne pepper...

Thanks for all the comments and advice. I'd go along with the thought about the rooster breeding the chickens, and that's a good suggestion, but we have three pens of chickens, and one pen doesn't have a rooster in it. The picture was taken from the pen without a rooster. However, I find this...

How much garlic do you give them? Here's a picture of our chickens. I'm a little late posting the picture. Thanks so much for the helpful answers!

Here's a question for you - I've heard that soybeans are not good for folks concerned about estrogen intake, and fish meal contains mercury. What can you substitute for these ingredients? Thanks in advance!

Thank you, ChickensAreSweet and dominiques, for your comments and advice! Any help and encouragement is very much needed. I want to find a way to feed the flock that's healthy for them and our family, without breaking the bank to afford it. If you come across anything else, please pass it on!
