these little boogers still aren't laying. I took some inside into an area of the house they'd be safe get a full 16 hour grow-light "sun" on a timer.(Just to see if they are getting somehow better light as required than the otheres) they are on game bird feed mixed with flock raiser. (3:1 in favor of game bird feed) They have constant access to water, more dust bathing area than they know what to do with, protection form the elements, shade or sun if they wish (can go from one end to the other freely) They get meal worms two or three tmes a week. Granted I just moved their hutch to a safer and better lit area of the yard, but their actual hutch itself stayed the same (view is just different). They get grass clippings and household green scraps during the week as well. What else can I be doing to get these hens to lay? (some are hens, some ar emales) The ones outside and the ones inside withthe light on a timer are fed the same, watered the same, offered the same treats...and neither group are laying.
