Hello! I am brand new to writing but have been reading this site faithfully for the last 3 months on advice for my brand new flock.
I have 8 little hens who just turned 12 weeks and 3 guinea fouls that are 7 weeks all in the same coop. They are all still on the starter food.
4 weeks ago my husband was driving and found the below hen under a tree. He was able to catch her and she rode home on his lap. The below pics are what she looked like when he brought her home. We were told it was probably a dog attack but no one was looking for her and now she is a wonderful part of our flock. If anyone could tell me whst breed she is I would appreciate it.
Well she gave us our very first egg ever on Tuesday of this week. I have read on this site how exciting it is but I had no idea until I found
it. It made my day.
My question is , all my flock is on starter. Is it too early to introduce layer feed for my one hen that is laying eggs or will it hurt her if she doesnt get the layer feed? Also will the layer feed hurt my youmg guineas ? I was going to slowly start mixing it with my starter but was scared. Thank you for your help.
