Egg Laying !!! Now that i went from Scratch Grains to the flock grow .

[gottalovemychickens]

Will i see more eggs now , ? I was feeding them scratch grains only and my egg productions dropped to ZERO . Now that im feeding them Flock Grow i should start seeing more eggs right

If they are laying they should be on lay feed and oyster shell for calcium, not grow feed.

They can be on Flock Raiser just set out oyster shell 24/7 in case they need it. Layer feed would be lots better for egg production.

alright well i aint got the money for that sooo im SOL haha

 

[PortageGirl]

they'll probably lay on that, though not as well as with layer feed, but try to get some oyster shell for them for the calcium, it's pretty cheap.

If you eat any of your eggs, save the shells and mix the shells into their feed.

HMMhmhmhmhmhmhmmmmmmmm ..... Really ?? Well right now for the next day or two ill feed them the Raiser then get new food , because then ill have the money . Other then that where do i get my oyster whatever from ?

They have it at feed stores. You can mix it in with the food or give it to them free choice in a seperate bowl.

Sure! Chickens are really hardy and will try to lay eggs no matter what. The better you feed them though, the more eggs they'll produce, the longer they'll lay them and the eggs will even taste better. Poorly fed hens will be less strong, get sick easier, lay fewer eggs, and lay them for fewer months out of the year and for fewer years.

You can usually buy oyster shell at most feed stores where you can buy chicken feed.
