LAYING or NOT LAYING ... THEY CAN'T MAKE THEIR MIND

[ninjadryden]

what is regular flock feed? Cal Store?

Still nothing. I have not kept them in there coop for the a couple of days because it is so hot (91 degrees F) plus I do not think they are laying. I don't see how cooping them up will produce eggs. I just find it so weird that I had 5 eggs in 3 days from 1 or 2 hens and now nothing. I agree with Percheron chick I will just need to give them some more time to develope.

Could their food have anything to do with this? I use Southern States Layer meal / crumbs I think medicated.

Is there a better option? Someone suggested I just feed them scratch in the morning and late evening and leave them alone. They would feed themselves. Sounds too easy. I read to consider Scratch as candy and Scratch will make you chickens fat.

Should I make my own food?

It doesn't make them produce eggs, it will just train them to lay in the coop nests instead of out in the range somewhere you can't find them.

Agrees, too hot to coop up, they may just not be up to speed yet or they may be laying out in the bushes somewhere.
