At about 10:30 this morning (October 24, 2015), in Oklahoma, a crowd of people congregated to watch the State University homecoming parade. Suddenly, a car struck a police motorcycle, then drove straight into the crowd. As a result of this, 3 people were killed and 34 others injured.
For birds that are laying large numbers of eggs, an easy and high calcium supplement is dried egg shell ground to a powder and added to their normal feed. Layer pellets are supplemented with calcium as well. Soft or thin shelled eggs may indicate calcium problems in your birds.
Once chickens reach the point where they start laying eggs (usually about 18 â 20 weeks of age) you can start them on a layer food. We feed our chickens layer pellets or crumble rather than a scratch mix as we find there is less waste with layer pellets. Chickens should always have access to layer pellets. Kitchen scraps can also be fed to your chickens at this age. They will look forward to getting kitchen scraps and usually eat these pretty quickly. Shell grit can also be a useful addition to your chicken feed to provide enough calcium for good shell development.
