Hi there i am new to the forum and looking for some help plz
I have 7 ex battery hens so not sure how old they are,but i have a few concerns about them ,i have just been to put them to bed coz they daft girls would not go in so i gave them a helping hand and when i came to pick them up they are really thin
i noticed this more coz they were wet and you can feel the bones ,i am getting about 0-5 eggs a day and they look bright eyed and responsive,
when i got them i went to our local farm to see what they needed to be fed they said layers pellets then hubby phone the peeps we got them of and they was still on chick crum even though they was laying they are still on small holders layers pellets and eat all day out of the feeder,
Also most of them are sneezing day and night
can anyone help me plz i would be most greatfull
