Henergy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I feel really bad that its taken me a few days to notice but today I pulled out my cube trays to empty the poo and found 2 softies lying there. One quite small & the other larger. She must have laid & they've dropped through the bars. Bless her. Is there anything I can do to help her ? There is mixed grit available and I often pop a handful in the feed too. She has Omlet Organic Layers feed, corn at evening. Plenty of access to grass. I have just given her a handful of my spinach ...any thing else I can do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If these are her first eggs, I wouldn't worry too much - it can take them a little while to get in the swing of things. If your other hens are laying hard shells on the same diet, she'll probably be ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I would also add that my wasn't laying very well recently (1 a week, if that)- and since we changed from omlet organic feed to marriage's layers pellets we've had one nearly every day!I know marriage's make the organic feed too but I guess there is a marked difference for our chooks between a good quality pellet and the crumby stuff we got from omlet.
