Ready For Layer Feed?

[junebuggena]

The shorter daylight hours of fall/winter are also a contributing factor. It takes pullets that mature in fall, longer to start laying.

our 1St wyandotte is 30wks now and no eggs from her yet either. Another brooder mate of her isn't laid either. I don't know what it is about these girls:/ good idea with the fermented feed, is this all what you give them with the free range feed of courseggs? Our girls are on 27% poultry feed now for the winter to help with eggs, hasn't helped yet.

Thanks for all the info. Decided to feed a mix of flock raiser and layer feed. I have had a bag of layer feed laying around, back when I had more adult birds. I decided to mix in flock raiser, I was told this time of year high protein is best. The girls seem to like it and I got rid of the layer feed before its got icky. Think I will keep them on the flock raiser while the weather is cold. Maybe I will switch out later.

I have a 2 year old layer on Purina layena and just got 4months old chicks. If I can avoid it, I don't want to feed them all different feed. So if I get flock raiser and oyster shells, I should be on the safe side? And they can have that forever?

Yes.
