IM a fanatic about NOT using sorghum in any form. I feed the Nature wise AllFlock from TSC.What do you feed them with? I was mixing my own feed and then switched to an all organic non GMO mixed grain and sine I did that they've all quit laying. What is the best feed? Their first yr I mixed whole oats, corn, flax, green peas, sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, and all was well. This yr I cut out corn due to heat issues and tried a premixed grain and now not getting eggs from any of them. Two have molted just recently but that wouldn't explain all of them.
It's a bit more pricey, but they are getting better nutrition so there's less waste and less gorging. I did a years worth of research and experiments on sorghum and on diatomaceous earth (diff story)
Short version, my chickens didn't thrive, looked like crap and DIDN'T LAY on anything with sorghum.
