Main reason you have not been getting eggs.........NOT ON LAYER. Feed only a layer , start at 21 weeks. will have all laying within a few weeks.

See alot of people feeding crack corn , cheaper feed but will hurt eggs production.

Really?!?! Most threads I read on here said to not start them on layer until they start laying eggs . . . . I will try this with my next pullets coming up in a month or so and see if it does make a difference. Thanks for the info!

hi deerman a quick question for u, my girls are 24 wks and have been on layers pellets for good few weeks now but they are not big eaters and never were, do u think that is why mine have not started yet?? They are healthy girls, red combs and wattles and have plenty of room ( i mean am i not getting eggs yet because they are not eating enough layers pellets)
