In the Brooder
I have two 6 month old pullets (that's the term for girls under a year, right?) and one just started laying (RIR) while hte other (EE) is still not laying yet. I found a broken rubber egg in the nest of the EE yesterday and am assuming she's starting to lay?
We've been feeding them the same starter feed we have been feeding them since we brought them home as chicks at 3 weeks. We purchase all of this at the nursery we got them from. In addition to that food (they have access to it all day/night) we also give them scraps and treats.
Is there any good information or additional resources I could look at to see if we need to be feeding and/or offering more? Also, when they start laying do we change the type of feed we purchase? Should I wait till both are laying? Thanks for any advice!
