So my feed is alright? if not what should I mix?

Here's what I "might" try, if you concerned about your feed mix performance.

Just go to a local feed store and buy a 50 or 100 pound bag of 20% layer formula. A pre-mixed, retail type bag of laying feed. Feed that for as long as it lasts. Depending on how many hens you are feeding. If, If you see that your hens respond to the new feed in a remarkable way (something I doubt) then you know your concentrate just isn't all that effective, mixed in the wrong proportions, or your mix isn't blended well.

Question. Do you do the mixing yourself?

Your concentrate mixed with 3 parts cracked corn might be fine, but I don't know the formula of the mix recommended by your concentrate supplier. Generally, I allow my Hubbard feed store to do the mixing for me. They grind the corn into coarse mash with the Hubbard Chick eN Egg concentrate mixed in. http://www.hubbardlife.com/poultry/chick-en-egg.aspx

The directions for mixing the concentrate to corn is stated on toward the bottom of the page I linked.

I wish Dr Jim, of Lazy J, would comment here. He's the pro.

Ok. I have about 50 hens and two roosters but they are not eating very much. Yes I am mixing my feed would that have something to do with it?

Ok today I got two little eggs and I think they're from the little hens but we have been getting one little egg every other day and that was when they were little two little I think.

would a little hen 1 1/2 years old that is smaller than my chickens when they were three months old lay a small really small egg?
