Just curious, 2 of my hens layed their first eggs today, but they have tiny white spots on the shells. What dies rhat mean?
I feed them egg layers crumble, dried black fly larve, live grasshoppers, ground corn, herbs and fresh vegetables, should i add ground oyster shell too? The shells are pretty hard already though.If they're not raised it's just where color didn't get laid down on the egg. It's probably nothing to be concerned with.
Good that you noticed though. Those small things can mean something more many times.
I also let them free range in my backyard on the grass and weeds around my backyard once a week, just to get exerciseI feed them egg layers crumble, dried black fly larve, live grasshoppers, ground corn, herbs and fresh vegetables, should i add ground oyster shell too?

I have another new hen laying today....it was a pink egg. So three birds, three sizes and three colorsHuh?

Yes, I bought it, rhen put it together. I hope they use it, lol.Do you mean you bought one?
Let us know if they use it. Your girls might just be stubborn enough they'll ignore it.
