That is why I was so torn about how to mix/supplement. My girls are pretty much all laying. I have 9 and still getting 7-9 eggs daily. Maybe I should put the flock raiser on the side instead of the oyster shell...and keep feeding mostly layer. Just wanted to make sure covered on protein since...

I gotcha. Wouldn't be so bad to do all the time but the flock raiser feed is at least double the price for me. Maybe my girls will take a break this winter. Last winter they didn't at all. Mine have been picking at the oyster shell and hopefully the ones who need are eating. This morning it was...

Hi all. My chickens are in the process of molting I believe. They are still laying though. All I have read says they usually stop during molt. Is this normal? Some are missing some patches of feathers now in areas. It has been a slow process I have noticed over the last few weeks. They are also...
