Thank you so much for this information. I have been wondering lately with my flock who is and is not laying any longer. I only have one that laid white eggs, so she is easy. She is one not laying, so I can compare.
We set up misters along the fence of our runners. this supply's them with a cool mist during the hot temperatures. We only turn in on when the temps get above 85. I also,freeze corn, peas and green beans in ice cube trays and set them out in a bowl for them to eat. Our waters are setup with...
I wish someone would event something to get rid of all the stuck on POOP!!!!!.

We don't use any chemicals on it. Mother nature and natural compost.

Will it harm are scavenging...
