I found these this morning. I've got two BCM and two EE from My Pet Chicken last June. their eggs are very small compare to the one from my older RIR but their colors are nice. produces
I had purchased four chicks from MP. I divided the chicken coop in two sections by chicken wire and raised the young side by side with my older ones. After I found the first egg from one of my BCM, a nice dark brown color egg, I removed the divider between the young and the old chickens. Much...
The store that I usually go to was closed today so I went to another one and all they is "kruse's perfection brand poultry feed", so I bought one bag.
Is anyone used this brand before? Is it good or bad for laying hens?
Not that I have too many choices where I live, but since I can't find any information about this company, I would like to know a little more about them and their quality if anyone familiar with them.
We have only two feed stores in our city and the only brand for layers they carry is "home...
I Ordered BCM from MPC, and I'm wondering about their quality.
I was reading here and in many posts people saying not to get them from an hatchery. Now I got doubt about the color of their eggs. Is there a good chance they eon't be dark brown?
I'm not intending to show them. I ordered them...
I just ordered two Black Copper Marans & two EE from Mypetchicken.com

I've heard that chickens go into molt in this time of the year becouse the days are shorter, and if I'll add artificial light for an extra 3 or 4 hour a day they will grow their feathers again and start laying eggs within a week.
Is this true?
Lately I start to feed my girls a little bit of cooked meat every day.
because one of them was loosing her feathers on the back, so i decide to add extra protein to their diet.
Any way after three days they started to lay huge eggs.
I am not sure if this the result of the new diet or the change...
My girls are one year old. All of them laying beautiful, and delicious eggs, the problem is every time I am making hard boiled eggs the shell staked to the egg white , and it's impossible to peel it without loosing a good amount of egg white.
Dose anyone have any suggestion ?
