Hi,
Yesterday and the day before two of my pullets laid their first egg. Hooray! Today there was no egg. Once a hen lays her first egg, how long does it typically take before she produces on a regular schedule? All I can find on the internet is hold the hen is when they will start laying no matter how I type in the search.
Also, I can't switch to layer feed because I have a cockerel with my girls. I put out a small bowl of oyster shells this morning. Do I give them as much as they want or do I ration it for them?
Such a fun time in our household!
Thanks!!
