Crowing
If they are laying you can put a bowl of wet-mash or pellets near the nests, ideally on the path out of the nest post laying, that is the most hungry a hen gets.
Don't wet more than can be consumed quickly as (especially in summer) the taste turns sour and they will turn their noses up at it.
I agree small bags are ridiculous. Here a small bag is 8lbs and costs more than twice the 50lbs bag's price. Because it is so crazy the bags are stale dated.
What we should be doing is buying the big bags and splitting them with other hen-keepers nearby.
