I have had them for a week now. 3 are apparently at pol though only 1 is laying regularly and one other has laid once. The 4th is about 4 weeks behind the others. I'm feeding layers pellets (breeder said this was ok for the young one too) from an omlet grub. Their website says it should hold enough for 4 chickens for 2 days but they're eating nothing like that much. I'm also feeding about 3/4 mug of corn once a day and they have a large free range area that they're in all day. Is it the extras that are making the difference? How do I make sure they are getting enough of the right nutrients to keep them healthy? I dont think they're taking much of the grit I'm leaving out for them either.
Can some of you experienced chicken people please advise.
