Six. 3 RR and 3 BR. GC

I got 6 today from 3 RR and 3 BR. I'm averaging 4 daily this month. GC

Red sex link diet I have had Red Sex-links (Golden Comets) in the past. I currently have 2 ISA Browns (Red Sex-links) 19 months old and feed them a conventional Layers feed 16% Protein, available 24/7. I get on average 5 eggs weekly from each. I give a treat of Scratch Grains 1 Tbsp each...

I buy enough feed for 6 weeks to 2 months and keep inside my house in a spare room. I've never had feed go bad before 5 months after mill date. I only keep a large coffee can of feed in the storage area in each of my 2 small coops of 9 chickens total. GC

For egg laying breeds 18% Protein is fine, it's what I use. What's not is its pellets according to Banana01. Crush them up in a blender 1 cup at a time in pulse mode or 2 cups in a regular size food processor. GC

My guess is the Welsummer laid one and the Wheaton Maran laid two. I've never had either breed, just what I've read. GC

I like to feed a Starter-Grower feed 18% till the first eggs from each breed, then mix with a Layer feed for a week or until the Starter-Grower is gone. I do add a separate container of Oyster Shells at 15 weeks old. Do you add lights to encourage laying during the winter season? GC

Sex-links like ISA Browns and Golden Comets lay through winters in my experience. My first flock (Golden Comets) never had a hard molt, just soft molts and continued to lay. My current ISA Browns are 18 months old and in a soft molt and still laying 4 to 5 eggs each weekly. My first non-hybrid...

Been there, done that. I switched back to a Layers feed with FLAX for the OMEGA 3s, up to 5 times a store bought egg. I see no difference in egg production or feather plucking between 16 and 20% Protein in my 5 years of feeding different Protein levels. My Hens (18 months old) in a soft molt are...

I have 4 RIR and had 4 BR, (one was injured by a Bobcat), 3 BR now. I bought my chicks May 15 from TSC, estimate they were 3 days old. I got my first egg at 21 weeks old, all 8 were laying at 23 weeks. I do add lights in the morning at 5 am. I kept them on a Starter-Grower feed 18% till 20...
