I've had my hens about a 3/4 weeks I bought them as pullets, but have taken longer than anticipated to start laying. Very pleased today though.

ok so it may not be a calcium deficiency. Just that they are young.

I'm going to give them some grit (So I have been adviced) the have pecked everything out of the ground... I prefer greens to their pellets.

There is all out war over a dock plant.

congrats on the egg, marvellous isnt it!

I assume you mean the grit mix? It's the oystershell you'll need if there is any calcium deficiency.
