Egg laying care

[chickenmomma123]

Is there anything new or different I should be doing since my chickens started laying eggs ?

Switch to a good layer feed, if you haven't already. Also, provide a dish with some crushed oyster shell if you like, which helps create nice strong egg shells. I have an attached chicken run, so I don't let mine free range until after 5:00, so that they learn to lay in the nesting boxes instead of outside in a bush somewhere.

That's really about all I can think of. (The oyster shell is really optional. The layer feed should provide enough calcium for strong egg shells.)

Enjoy your eggs!
