    Oyster shell question

    My girls are 17 weeks. RIR, Barred Rocks, speckled Sussex, and Orpingtons. I have them on starter feed still. No one has laid yet. Is it ok to put oyster shells out for them at this age? I know they say when they are laying but I assume they need them when they are getting ready to lay?

    Devastation on the Farm...

    I had told a story here on BYC about God showing me where Iizzys (my favorite Chick! She was a Silver Duckwing OEGB) nest was, TRUE STORY-I knew she was laying but it wasn't in the nest or coop or any of the known spots they hung out.

I noticed I could hear or feel jiggling when I shook the...
