That’s kind of what we figured. They all eat Kalambach organic mixed flock crumbles, free access to oyster shell, and a fair amount of greens. She seems back to her old self, so hopefully the stress is receding.
Hello All,
We have a mixed flock of chickens and ducks, about a week and a half ago our male duck started going after one of our chickens. We got everyone separated and no major injuries occurred. Our hen was a very consistent daily, brow egg layer. She laid two very small and almost white eggs...
