My five hens are nearly 5 months old. I have 1 RIR, 2 Barred Rock, 1 Americauna, and 1 black sex link. None have started laying. I am still giving them chick crumbles and they seem so uninterested! They love scratch but I know that should only be a little part of their diet. Everything I read says no layer food until they lay. How can I be sure they are eating the right stuff? And what happens when one or more start laying and the rest don't? Feed the same?
