well been a couple of weeks since starting to give the chickens limestone flour, still no eggs but only a couple of very soft eggs, going to give up with them and get some new girls, these two girls will just do as they please,haven't the heart to get shot of them, if they do start laying well that will be a bonus. they have got skinny though

Did they not start eating their pellets when they had nothing else to eat :?:

Sod's law dictates that the day after you get some new girls the first lot will start laying lots of beautiful hard shelled eggs ...
