Hens don't need layer feed, an all flock feed is fine, with oyster shell in a separate dish. Mary

Ever the optimist, and really hoping to avoid extreme events. In bad times, getting grains by the bag, or anything on recipe lists, might also be difficult. As a child, I spent summers 'off the grid' and would love to miss that experience now, especially as an adult, and in winter. Mary
