Egglaying

[Domingo5]

I have 6 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Guineas. My question is they have all laid there first small eggs and I switched them over to Layer Crumbles, I also give them fruits, veggies and seeded bread. They haven't laid anymore solid eggs, I found 2 small eggs with no shell. Am I giving them to many fruits and veggies, should I cut back on that. I don't think they are eating enough layer crumbles. What do you think and what's my next step?

I'd cut back on the goodies. When changing feeds it is always best to do so gradually by adding increasing amounts of the new feed to their accustomed feed.

I did that for 5 days . I mixed equal parts of both feeds together. I appreciate your advise and will cut back on there goodies. Thanks for the help

In addition to cutting back on the treats, also make sure there's oyster shell available as some birds need more calcium than the layer feed provides.

Thanks for the heads up on oyster shells. I know that it is in there layer crumbles, I'll be picking some up!
