Should we suppress laying in this Orpie?

[ASimon]

I just started giving them a little yogurt (not sure how much I should give, though). Since I give organic feed, I'm wondering if I should be giving more supplements??

Is organic feed short on calcium?

Hi ASimon,
I just realized I didn't respond to your post. If your question was directed to me , I apologize. You'd have to read the label of your organic feed bag to see how much calcium it has. I don't think a little yogurt will supplement with all the calcium they need, although it doesn't hurt them either. Also, have some oyster shell available to your flock, so they can pick at it when they feel like it. If they don't seem interested in the oyster shells, mix them with your feed.
Hope your hens are doing well by now.
