So hopefully the others will catch on soon!<br />I will stop the Rabbit feed until I do some research to see if it's OK. For now I will continue the Bread ration along with the regular feed and Kitchen scraps.<br />TomTom Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617525385016644041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-36375440184719114632012-08-06T14:48:35.878-07:002012-08-06T14:48:35.878-07:00TEA,

The Eggs are all the same, Small, Perfectly formed and very clean.<br />That's a good idea about the Rabbit feed and I will Google it to see.<br />TomTom Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617525385016644041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-78688680431449768082012-08-06T14:19:17.380-07:002012-08-06T14:19:17.380-07:00I would stick with feeding poultry, poultry food. ...I would stick with feeding poultry, poultry food. It's got everything they need - including calcium so the egg shells will stay nice and hard. I wouldn't mix feed - just saying. Hopefully, the rest of the girls will catch on and everyone will be laying soon.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-26196434656212616542012-08-06T08:10:12.841-07:002012-08-06T08:10:12.841-07:00Congrats on the eggs.

My eggs are different shapes. If you can, save them awhile and compare the shapes. After a time, you will be able to tell how many chickens are laying. If you had the time, stick around the hen house for a day and you can watch to see who is laying. <br />I would do research on feeding rabbit feed to the chickens. There might be stuff in it that isn't good for them. I know it has stuff in it that will eventually kill goats.<br />Hope this wasn't too much of a downer comment.<br />Ttea4too0https://www.blogger.com/profile/05251675779916407907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-43281415860014379722012-08-04T14:15:32.075-07:002012-08-04T14:15:32.075-07:00Hey Carolyn,

Maybe the others are waiting until week 20 to get started?<br />As far as the Ducks go, Yours is the first vote I have for <br />"Runners"! I like the looks of them too and it would be nice to add their Egg's to the Homestead. But I will have to see how that works out.<br />TomTom Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617525385016644041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-13148372604531428272012-08-04T07:37:31.229-07:002012-08-04T07:37:31.229-07:00Oooo!

Don't know what to say about your egg situation though; you'd think I'd have some idea since we go through the entire chicken life cycle several times a year here, but nope....got me on that one!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.com
