I’ve been going down a rabbit hole lately reading up on fermenting feed. I’ve read halfway through the big fermenting feed thread in the layers section as well as bookmarking the one in the meat bird section for when I’m finished. I mixed up a batch the beginning of last week using my all flock...

I feel like I always post up with issues with my flock. I have a Silkie Pullet that started off laying hard shelled eggs. Shortly after starting to lay she started laying soft shelled eggs. I didn’t think anything of it since she was a new layer. She started to have more soft shelled eggs than...
