Quote: It was one of my EEs. It has a green shade to it. Not sure who laid it though. Kelly, can you help me on this thread? Thanks. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=435499

FYI: We got 2 eggs today. 1 blue and 1 brown. We didn't put any pepper in the food or anything too.

Quote: Quote: Yeah but like I have said before they won't even go near the egg boxes.

Quote: No, the point is that they shouldn't run out. If they are eating it then they can get at it, so it doesn't matter what it's in. I can't really tell you how much mine eat, either -- but I can tell you I have only let them empty their feeders maybe 3 times in nearly 4 years -- and then...

Quote: Well at least thanks for thinking!

Quote: Yeah tell me about it!

Quote: They are both to me lol!

Quote: They all aren't layin! Plus culling is cruel IMO.

Quote: Yeah I have heard about that too. How much do feed them at once? Do you crush up the whole pepper and feed it to them?

The title says it all. They are fed scratch, layer pellets, and flock raiser. Coops are always clean. Help me out here people.
