I purchased a bag of Dumor organic layer pellets January 1st. It's now TWO weeks since I purchased it and I just put the last bit into the feeder today and bought a new bag this afternoon. I probably won't refill their (12 ladies who are all laying except 1 lone lady which is a SLW) feeder until Monday A.M. I am getting about 6 - 8 eggs a day and their shells are hard.
They range on 1 acre and their water and feed they have full access today.
Previously, they were on all flock. The 50 lb bag and it lasted a month and 2 weeks. I had half a bag of all flock on Dec. 20th (when i bought my first bag of organic, and mixed it in slowly..slowly transitioning).
Are they eating too much? is this normal for cooler temps? We have average temps here in Central Florida. Some days getting to almost 80 and some days hitting low to high 60s. I am gonna face it - florida is erratic and crazy with weather right now. The coldest winter i have remembered in over 10 years.
body conditioning of my ladies seem very healthy and not overweight *yet* comparing to what dr. google says. they get scraps on kitchen clean out days, including argula, spinach, etc.
This can't be normal. is it normal? Should i start fementing? i am shocked.
