My Barred Rock hens just turned 16 weeks on Thursday (6/25) and I’ve read online that they normally start laying from 16-24 weeks. Is this true? I’m getting anxious and want to make them feel as comfortable as I can.
My chickens will be 8 weeks old this Thursday, but I want to start preparing for when they lay their first eggs. I’ve heard that oyster shells provide calcium and we need to feed them those. Any other recommendations?? Thank you!
Hi! I’m new here and I’m needing help determining if my 5 barred rock chicks are pullets or cockerels. To me, they all look the same. They turn 6 weeks tomorrow. Any help/comment would be appreciated! Thank you!
