Constantly Talkin Bout Chickens
Hi all!

I just really like this brand of feed. It has really worked for me and my chickens love it.
I've seen a lot of threads and posts saying that their hens are laying hardly any eggs.
I want to share with you what chicken feed I get MY chickens. It's literally a miracle-worker. I swear by it. When I switched over to this brand I saw a noticeable difference.
It's called Kalmbach feeds. They sell feed for many types of farm animals.
From my 11 free-range hens I have gotten maybe 120+ eggs from them so far this year. It's not only the feed that helps them lay more eggs, it's other factors as well. Mine are let out every morning and go to bed by themselves every night. I feed them table scraps, such as fruits and veggies every now-and-then, but no human junk food. I also feed them whole eggs (yes I get PLENTY extra.) They eat the innards as well as the shells which are a fantastic source of calcium (especially if your chickens are picky like mine and won't eat crushed oyster shells
)
If your hens are barely laying any eggs, or if they are pullets and are taking a while to lay their first egg, then please try this brand out.
In my area, 20 pound bags are $16.49, and 50 pound bags are $20 to $25 depending on what type it is. They have this type of feed called "Henhouse Reserve" made with all natural ingredients such as whole grains, seeds, and veggies (and other stuff as well.) But I find that my chickens pick through it to get to their favorite parts. They act like such spoiled little brats sometimes
Anyway, give this a try. I don't think they carry it at Tractor Supply, but you can get it online and I think Walmart may have it as well!
