My chicks are about 8 weeks old now so I went to my feed store to get grower mash and they told me their distributor stoped carrying it. He told me layer mash would be fine. Everything I read says layer mash is to high in calcium and doesn't have enough protein for growing chicks. What should I do?

Not sure what breed these are. I was told blue and lavander americaunas but I'm not buying it. They are 4 weeks old. The whit one is some sort of leghorn mix I think.

I noticed my new silkies eye looked odd today. Looks like the eyelid is half way shut and sort of white down the center like a cats eye. Somebody help. I'll try to add a pichttp://www.backyardchickens.com/g/i/5453274/default/sort/display_order/

Hi, one of my hens was killed by a hawk the other morning and my other two hens haven't left the coop since and it seems they started molting. Is this a normal reaction due to stress? And should I try to coax them outside into the run at least?

I currently have three hens, they have been together for a few months now, I wanted to add a fourth this weekend not sure if there are any precautions I should take when adding a new hen.

My new chickens just started laying, everything seems to be going pretty smoothly so far. Anyone from CT have advice for keeping them happy in the winter here. Everyone keeps telling me I need electricity for the coop but everything I've read says you don't.
