Goodnight Sunny!
Elizabeth, what a great job you're doing on your coop and your chicks.
So my neighbor's - the 3 single guys next door, says I should have a rooster and the rude people behind us needs to just keep their month shut! They said they can convince them but I know they can't, these guys are just so rude there's no way.
It's so strange seeing Monique without her tail. She's in a very nice molt right now. She hardly has any bare spots at all. Bella is really losing her feathers today. They just kept falling off all day long the poor thing. Sundae is in a nice molt but she's still laying eggs somewhat, the shells are so thin and I upped their protein to help them with their feathering. Sundae has had soft shells for a while now and I can't get them to stop, she's the only one, not sure what to do?
Her neck is almost out of feathers and it looks like she'll be turning into a polish soon
but I really must figure this out.
One of the things I learned while treating Bella is the egg white has 57% of the egg's protein and the yolk has 43% so if you are increasing protein then the white is what you want to use. I'm using both and I have egg shells by choice along with oyster shells by choice. I see Sundae eating them and I also added BOSS to their diet. I'm not going to buy Layer's feed again, I'm now moving back to Flock Raiser because it has a higher protein content.
Anyways, I need to go to bed now so I can get up early and get ready for work.
Goodnight All!
