Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. The other members have given you some good advice regarding your chickens diet, so I'll just say, please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. What kind of chickens do you have?

Hi Michael! I originally got 6 Rhode Island Reds as chicks.... one turned out to be a roo , and then something took 3 of the ladies. We apparently didn't have our coop secured well enough. lesson learned. So now i have Richard the rooster, 2 RIR's, 1 buff orphington, and 2 barred rocks.

I'm sorry about your losses, but you have some good replacements. I've had all three of those breeds over the years (still have Buff Orpingtons) and you have some good, hardy, dependable breeds. I love Buff Orpingtons for their beauty, and friendly, gentle temperament. My children, and now my granddaughter (pictured in my avatar) made lap pets of ours. You will get lots of nice, large, brown eggs from those three breeds. Good luck with your flock.
