Hello!
So we have 10 chickens 20 weeks old who haven’t started laying before the winter hit. I think now it is too cold for them to lay (freezing temps almost every night) until the spring. Do I still feed them layer feed throughout the winter? I’m worried they’re getting too much calcium since they aren’t laying for a few months?!
Also can anyone compare “scratch and peck” feed to “Modesto milling”. I found the “S&P” so dusty and felt like they might not eat all their vitamins that are in the dust?can you tell: overconcerned first time chicken owner here
