Our chicks (5 hens) are about to turn 15 weeks this week-
1) is now a good time to open their nesting boxes?
2) should I switch them to laying feed? Or wait until the first egg?? I know switching them too early is bad, but I’m assuming they won’t all start laying at the same time, so I do t want to wait too long either!
3) when should a start offering oyster shells?
4) if they free range most of the day will they know to go to their coop to lay??
Thank you!!!
