Hello again. I see I did not ,,state in my previous post that we have six chickens, two Buffs and four White Leghorns. I am confused about how to post and it's probably not the place for this. I apologize for not following protocol but I am starting to be concerned that I have a real issue here. I have been feeding fermented seed to our chickens for a month now. Egg laying dropped of a little at a time, then came to a cackling vault. I think it has been at least two weeks without eggs. We have six chickens and two different breeds. I am wondering if they are sick. They look good. They are feisty from eating fermented. They jump me every time I show up so they don't appear sick other than not laying. I do have a few who's combs are not dark red but have a washed out look. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I don't know why they slowed down. I don't think it could be fermented feed unless it dropped the protein percentage way down. The cold dropped a lot of People's egg count. There is a forum about egg laying issues, or another popular thread that has quite a few chicken experts called "how many eggs did you get today. " Just use the magnifying glass above to the right and type in those words to get you there. How old are chickens ? and what " seed " are you feeding (do they have access to dry food ) as well as fermented seed? Hope that helps

Hi, can you turn your spellcheck off? Look in Settings and you may have to go to Looking for Something Else or Other if you can't find it. Is this a phone or laptop. Oh hey, I know who can help you, our resident techie genius! That would be @CarpCharacin. James! A little help here, please!

If you are only feeding fermented seed, they are malnourished and incapable of producing eggs.
They must have a balanced complete feed that contains 18-20% protein. I prefer to offer the extra calcium required for egg laying on the side in the form of oyster shell.
You can ferment any complete chicken feed. I ferment Flock Raiser. It works well. Oyster shell is cheap. I get it for $10 for a 50 pound bag at that last my flock of over 20 layers over a year.

I hope all goes well with your flock. I hope the lack of eggs it is just weather related.
