Hi Everyone, Well after my very frantic post about losing a hen a couple weeks ago, I am finally back to thank everyone for their words of wisdom. I did lose another one the next week, but don't have a clue what happened. No one has been sick. I blame it on the cold and everyone being sick...

The shells vary. My younger ones are super hard and the older hens are softer. They have oyster shells, get a layer mix and in the winter I give them scratch with BOSS... sometimes a block too. What did you use for extra protein, a supplement? I am not sure if she is motling or not, sure...
