    black hard tumor ;(

    INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

We just settled north of Terre Haute, in the Otter Creek area, and I would be willing to host or drive somewhere to meet up with BYC folks. Do you all ever get together?

    Should I feed my hens scratch or layer feed?

    I am a new chicken momma. Why do you give them grit? How do you puchase it? Mine are 9 months old and laying. I give them calcium separately, and layer feed with grain/seed treats in the evening. I should also add they get a hot breakfast when it is 20 or below. Oats or cornmeal.
