How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

4 today, but we got 6/6 on Friday!

I'm at my wit's end. Nothing I do seems to make a difference. Organic ACV in their water, nutridrench, jalapenos, 22% feed, 16% feed, more feed pans, 11 gallons of water, greens, grit. Always oyster shells.

We got two new hens in July, and my daughter suggested separating them into our mini coop that's in the run to see if that makes a difference. That and adding a timed light in the coop are my last resorts. They definitely molted hard in July, though. Our rooster still has pin feathers. He's almost 5. He's separate, fwiw.
I would try a calcium and vitamin D supplement, they need Vit D to utilize the calcium, and being winter that will be in short supply with the lower sunlight.

I am using Chick’n Swell - Chick’n Egg it’s a calcium & D supplement you add to their water.

On Thursday, my husband and I had a braai (He's from South Africa and this is what they call their style of bbq) and I gave the girls all the extras, so they got some potato salad, caesar salad (they turned their noses up at the plain lettuce I gave, until that was the LAST thing left, only THEN did they deign to eat it lol) and even got a lamb shoulder bone with a little meat attached.


All weekend long, every time I show my face outside, no matter WHERE they are on the farm, they come RUNNING lolollolololol

I feel so bad I don't always have goodies for them lol they are just like little doggos <3 gosh I love em
