Thank you, I’ve not been able to find an all flock feed over here yet, but I’ll have a better look in a bit. They always have mixed flint and oyster shell grit in their pen.
Thank you so much. Would an all flock feed be ok for my other hen, a Scots Dumpy who is laying? I’m in the UK, and have never heard of all flock feed before! I’ll have to have a look!

Thank you, the naked neck one is so odd looking bless her, but she’s really sweet! My eldest wants to knit her a little snood! I’m sad that I think the yellow one is a boy, and I can’t keep any boys here with close neighbours. He stands taller than the other 2, and is very feisty!
