Baby number 3 is tucked under Violet.

I'm surprised at how very round she can make herself.

Such a happy little face

She's a goof ball

But has poor Ms Georgette Bootsie worried.

Missy doesn't like Luna running around, but doesn't want us to think she is afraid....

Yes, that was why I stopped using it for a while...my hens picked out the seeds, and flipped out the ground part which was the supplements (nutritional)...But they now have layer pellets. (I can now get organic soy free layer locally, so don't use these)...BUT will shortly be offering grower crumbles with BSFL...I'm so excited. (I can't get organic all flock, so make my own mix of layer/grower so the Roos are okay)

I've been looking at this, as I'm looking for more calcium, am supplementing calcium every-other day and I'm tiring of it, wondering how to instead supplement protein, less labor-intensive, as I would prefer 18%. I tested the 18% Nutrena Feather Fixer with no calcium supplementation and found it is better than all-flock but not enough calcium - started getting soft shells from one or two hens, I still think Peanut is one. Also observed that the Buckeyes love ground eggshells and do not touch the oyster shell at all. Maybe because the ground eggshells are available? They were going at some oyster shell last summer when it was spilled/scattered on the ground, I may try that.

The ingredients list on the page for the pelleted layer w/ grubs has no grubs. Fish meal, and flax meal and oil. What do you think? In error?
@micstrachan what did you say about flax?

Correction - on the picture of the label, grubs are listed, plus many more things.
