I am glad to say my hens are happier now. I got 9/10. For the last 2 weeks I have been only getting 4 maybe 5 a day.

20/21 - just wondering, someone mentioned that their hens eat more and lay better w/ crumbles? Vs. pellets? Any truth?

6/6 today! First time that's happened. They're all around 23-24 weeks.

She has an impacted crop. She at too much mowed grass and it is balled up tight in her crop

Oh, Ok. I have never had to deal with that, but I have heard that some people have good luck with massaging the crop. I hope she is able to clear out her crop.

We had a decent day 65 here but that is pretty normal this time of year
mostly dry bit of sprinkles late evening... We ended the day with 13 of 18

That's not a bad egg count. I hope you had a great Easter

I haven't really noticed a difference in egg count. I prefer pellets because I feel like my chickens waste too much with crumbles. They always have a bunch of it on the ground which doesn't happen when I feed them pellets. It'll be interesting to see how others feel about it.


17 eggs today. Candled some of the eggs that the broody Barred Rock is sitting on. 3 were clear, 2 were rotten (she had started to eat those), 2 were pretty full with some movement, 1 was at the "big eye" stage and 2 had veining. I think there were 2 more I didn't get too, I was tired of getting pecked. If she hasn't hatched anything by the end of the month, I'm going to try to break her because she has been sitting on a nest for a very long time!
