I use hanging feeders. I have them hanging about neck high on the birds. They almost have to stretch to eat. I was told this was best bc it kept the, from scratching do much out. I tried pellets last year when they were cranking them out and my egg production dropped fast. I figured it was from switching feeds, so I kept feeding them pellets for about two months or longer and it never picked back up. I might give it another go when I go to buy more this weekend.
Since my hens haven't laid in so long do I need to still feed them oyster shells? I quit after they stopped laying. Didn't see the purpose. The feed I give them says no extra calcium needed.
