Hello All,
I have two Sliver Laced Wyandot's . Right now they are about 14 weeks old, I have had them since they were chicks, and have been separated from my other two, hens I have and for the most part they are use to each other . I live in the North East and this weekend it is supposed to get extremely cold out, the way I have them separated I am afraid they may get to cold, so my question is , is it to early to start the new hens on layer feed. like I said they are about 14 weeks old. Also if someone can offer advise my two other hens I have seem to be laying very brittle eggs, I do supply them with crushed oyster shells, on a regular basis. Could it be the layer feed or should I add additional supplements.
TYI
Peter
