    can you feed laying hens starter crumbles?

    Thanks all! I tossed the feed tag when I opened the bag a while back but the bag says nothing about it being medicated. I didn't know if the medicated would poison the eggs or not ;). I think I'll just go ahead and give it to them....=)

    can you feed laying hens starter crumbles?

    can you feed laying hens starter crumbles?

    We have a half used bag of Turkey and Game starter crumbles and I'm wondering if I can just give it to my laying hens?? Anyone know if it would hurt them or make their eggs inedible? Thanks.

    4 dead chicks..

    I have 1 week old chicks. We lost 4 this past week. I thought at first I may have over heated them =(. But now I know they are not over heated or distressed they still seem to be breathing heavily and maybe panting. Every so often they look like they may be yawning. It's hard to tell if I'm...
