I have two old english chickens one a bantam and the other regular size.Since the middle of October they have quit laying and seem to be in a slow molting process. I had been feeding them egg layer with a little scratch mixed in,but since they quit laying they just pick out the scratch and leave the egg layer.
They free roam in the back yard so I think they get enough to eat. But what my question is ,is should they be getting some other nutritious feed , until they start to lay again? Or should I continue to put out egg maker?
I live in the city and there is only about 3 feed stores within about 20 miles. Their choices of chicken feed seems to be egg layer(in some form) scratch and cracked corn.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
