So 2 hens are broody and of the other 14 hens 7 have stopped laying completely for the last 2 weeks. These are 2 y/o in September. I am thinking that they are in the first stages of molting and am wondering if I should put the whole flock on higher protein feed, like flock raiser. I always offer oyster shell on the side, so the 7 that are still laying can have their calcium from that.
What do you all think? Good idea? Bad idea?
