I have been feeding Purina flock raiser 20% from TSC w oyster always available. No added light. Getting 10-14 eggs from 19 layers daily in Pennsylvania all winter. Ages are 1 and 2.

My wife bathed a sick Polish of ours last week while I was at work. It wasn't in good shape at all but the bath killed it. Nail in the coffin so to speak. It literally died in her arms within 5 minutes after. She felt so guilty. I, of course downplayed it and said that it wasn't her fault. With...
