8 Hens, 1-2 eggs a day - ok not good. I was told at my feed store, you could measure between the breasts of the hen, 3 fingers wide means that hen is laying, smaller means those hen's are likely NOT laying.
I've had this bunch of hens 2 years plus couple months. They are well fed...
Doing some landscapeing, and I have been letting my chickens have the run of the yard, daily. Now its time to plant beautiful shrubs and such. I found out they will quickly devour decorative grasses. Very funny. Anyone have luck with plants they seem to ignore? or dislike?
Thanks!

super newbie here- one of my hens seems larger than the others. Astroplorp, her legs seem to be thicker we got all 10 chicks at the same time.
I'm sure its possible 1 out of 10 is a rooster, I Just can't be sure.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance
Trying to avoid corn because of anti-inflametory reasons. Anything besides corn to throw for scratch? and what is good supplemental feeding to increase omega 3 in eggs?
