I just got my WONDERFUL Meyer Hatchery catalog today. I used to think that my three new Golden Buffs were all I could desire, but now I want five of each variety!
Anyhow, the 'Care of Poultry" section at the front of the catalog says this:
"Don't feed fruit to layers, since it can cause them to stop laying and it may take them as long as six weeks to start laying again."
Yikes! Mine love cut up pears and apples, and they go nuts over grapes. I guess I've got to stop. I see plenty of references to fruit feeding here, so what's up? Thoughts???
