On another side note, I thought I better jump in and introduce myself because I want to go to POOPS

On another question...with 9 hens...about how many eggs a day would be normal? With the exception of the Polish, they are all listed as good layers. We all work during the day so it is hard to tell who is laying and who isn't.

Only if they don't pick out the corn & leave the rest & that is what mine will do. They will pick out all the "candy" & leave anything they don't like. So to save my self time & money I feed layer pellets with scratch or chops as a treat only.

Mine dont, but I only toss in small handfuls once a day or so, and they eat it up so fast they dont have time to pick and choose, cause if they dont eat it the others will...

My layers have feed 24/7 self feeders so they pick. Glad it works for you. I don' tknow enough to mix feed but I use a 21% protein from the local feed store.

]Depending on the age of the hens anywhere between 5 - 9. If your hens are around a year old the you should get between 7 -9 daily if fed properly. And weather will straighten out.

I think it works for me because I feed my birds once a day, I dont have them on self feeders, an old man I respect once told me 'A hungry chicken is a healthy chicken' cause if they are active, scratching, diggin and workin for food, they will stay in good shape and will have less health problems than an overweight bird that isnt real active...
