Same here...at the advice of folks on this forum I started mine on a high protein "all flock" feed with oyster/eggshell on the side. My birds are slick and pretty and seem to be thriving. They free range most days, so they get extra goodie from the bugs and other critters they eat from the yard.The only disadvantage is that all flock feeds tend to cost more, as they tend to have more protein which is a more expensive ingredient. But, I actually think hens do better with the high protein feeds -- that's what I give my flock.
Mine just started laying a few weeks back and their shells are hard as a brick so I must have found the right combination.
