Got a butcher hen that laid last sunday and one today....Dont worry there egg laying will slowly increase but wouldnt hurt to leave out some layer pellets for them.

Yeah Got To Get Some Layer Pellets For Them Any Other Suggestions. Hey Do You Guys Take The Roo Away When She Goes Broody

Well I keep her in the basement which is warmer than the freezing temps. outdoor and layer pellets are always a plus to mix with the corn. I actually take the Roo away from her when she has laid about 10 eggs. This will encourage the hen to go broody once she is broody she is left alone in the pen with out the other hens till her hatch date.

I'm feeding whole corn with cracked corn and layer pellets. They eat the pellets last.
If you want to give a protein boost, dry kitten food is 35-40% protein.

My hens are the opposite they leave the corn for last

 

[Red jungle fowl88]

mines will pick out the hole corn first haha
