16 Hens And No Frigging Eggs


Recommended Posts

As said a cross like that your going to loose 30% eggs a year so three years old there done replace a third of them every year and you will get plenty eggs and a nice aged flock , At that age there only good for boiling when you see comercailly raised eaters getting the chop at 45 days

Don't know if this is old talk but I've heard it said that the last thing your birds need is mown grass. Also vegetable peelings etc , unless boiled are a definite nono. You might find a white milky kind of slash instead of a solid crap. Smell the water. good luck pal. They'll be laying before you know it. Jok.

Bit harsh Courseadog. Could be one sitting wrong or getting comfy, fragile shell and hey presto. Free meal. I can't imagine anyone getting rid of the flock.Jok.

Once one starts they all at it and you won't stop them trust me culling is the only way and start again
