Here's my "problem"....I got 5 Wyandotte pullets (est 34wks) that I got when they were 28wks. The lady I got them from had them on Layer although they were not laying, she told me to keep them on it as they will be laying soon. Well, they're still not laying & reading threads on BYC, decided to switch them to Flock Raiser w/Oyster Shells on the side until they start laying, then finish up the bag of (DuMor) layer I have & possible keeping them on FR.
I did a change on Nov 20, feeding FF I just mixed the FS into the remaining mix. They also get lettuce throw aways every day, always ate all their feedings until yesterday. They'll eat from my hand but not their dish, they get fresh water everyday, stopped their treats....Left their food in their enclosure last night, this morning it was all gone. Is it the FR or spoiled chickens?
A bit concerned, they're not acting any different; dust bathing, scratching but less poop for sure. They did have some grass clipping the other day, could that be it? Gave them in the past but just read it's not good as it can cause a clogged system Any advice and opinion would greatly be appreciated, Thank you in advance and you all have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
