In the Brooder
Thanks, I'm like alot of folks on here... new to chickens, but I am totally addicted! I have 3 Wyandotte crosses that are about 8 or 9 months and I thought I finally had all 3 laying, but now I sometimes only get 1 or 2 eggs from all 3 of them. I just wasn't sure if they do that or if I should be concerned. I feed them good scratch feed with a little extra rye mixed in and a layer mash in a separate feeder and the oyster shell in a separate dish. I also give meal worm treats in the evening when I lock them up. my garden keeps them supplied with zuchinis or cukes, and I also pull the purselane which they enjoy. I do wonder if I am feeding too much scratch because they dont clean it up by any means. My coop has 4 nesting boxes but the only seem to use two of them, and I try to collect 2 or 3 times a day, cause I had some birds flying in and pecking the eggs.
I also just bought 3 more pure Blue Laced Red Wyandottes from a breeder and am spending way too much time watching them!!! I have them in a clear plastic tote with a heat lamp. So far, they seem to be doing well.
So, by now you can see I am certifiably Chicken Crazy... will accep all suggestions or corrections! Thanks again!
