Flowerpot Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi It is such a long time since I have communicated with this forum but again I am in need of advice. I have hens that are no longer laying and I wondered if there was a special food I should feed them rather than the layers pellets or should I just keep feeding the layers pellets anyway? I love my girls and I want them to be happy until they leave this world whether they lay eggs or not. So could someone give me some advice please? thank you Flowerpot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I know some feed their hens grower pellets, when they are not laying. Grower pellets apparently have less calcium, which non laying hens don’t need as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I would feed growers pellets I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Me too Although my 9 year old pekin (when she was stil with us) had layers feed, but only because she was still in with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
