    Scratch & Peck Now Contains Diatomaceous Earth In Their Feeds

    I have mostly used the layer pellets and checking the ingredients list, I don't see DE. Perhaps as suggested here it is for anti-caking which would make more sense in the scratch feeds rather than the pellet feeds.

    Thoughts on Scratch n' Peck feed?

    I have used Scratch & Peck for at least 6 years. It is pricey but the ingredients are organic and the company is local, both desirable attributes for me.

    Hen with weak legs

    I had a long reply ready but it vaporized somehow. She does normally lay and yes I have had 'wind eggs' that appear periodically. I never suspected her of this but I suppose that us possible.

    Overnight Feeding

    Should I provide food and water overnight while my hens are closed in their coop? I have been doing this but I see that others have food and water only in the run and apparently not inside the coop. Right now my coop is quite small and I have a small container of food and a nipple waterer in...
