Egg help?!?

[cl4275]

Those are good ideas. The oyster shell is only offered in one place. I’ll try sprinkling it in the run and maybe I can pick up another hanging container... on the other side just in case... they always stay out later then the older girls and eat up before they go into the coop at night... I’ll add scratch onto of it too and see if they eat it. Hopefully we get this worked out soon.

I’ve heard it’s normal for young one to lay not so good and small eggs when they start until they get in a routine and learn their body basically and then will they start laying good eggs! I have 6 chicks that are 6 weeks old tomorrow, one of them being a rooster. I have not had any pullets before so coming January February will be my first time with first time layers. I’ve just done a lot of research and learned these things! I’m trying to prepare myself! I hope everything gets better with your little ones!

Thanks. This first girls started laying so nicely without more than a couple days between eggs and the shells were always beautiful. I thought since we did everything the same these babies would be good to go. I’m just going to guess the babies need more time and calcium to get it together. I did sprinkle the OS over their food and then scratch and then more OS... they seem to gobble at least a little OS.... I also threw in over the run... looks like snow, almost... time will tell.

don't need that much.
Just a dozen or so pieces on feed......and a pinch of scratch on OS container.
