Today I went and bought some fertile hatching eggs from a breeder for my broody Buff Orp. The hens in her coops were HUGE! The Orpingtons were at least twice the size of my current flock, feed store Orps, EE's and RIR.
I currently feed Layer pellets, and snacks in the form of left overs. They also get a weekly pile of grass clippings and leaves.
What am I doing wrong? My girls are healthy, but much smaller. What do you feed?
