16 weeks old Pullets starting to Lay.

Hi and welcome to our chicken Coops:

All our 16 week old Pullets are begining to lay, now as they are a little late but weather wise its been a horrible summer to cold and wet to let them out side, so we kept them in longer and fed them  Grass each day and gave them plenty of litter to scratch around in during the day time, and they have done remarkably well considering.
Also because they have been vacinated against worms and colic, and bird flu, they are now ready to go free range, and when I opend their door outside they were clucking, and carrying on like a lot of old chooks, well they are lol, and they were scooting around looking for the worms, that were thrown out before they were let out, as we have a worm farm as well and about once a month we throw out a small bucket full for them to scourage about and scratching in the grass looking for them, as they are counted as a Protien for their good health.
We also have a mixture of Condiese crystles in their drinking water, to keep all the narsties from them, and to keep them healthy, also if any of your chooks get Scaley legs, saturate their legs in Cooking oil, as it gets under the scales and smothers the Mites that cause the problem.

Well I hope you are getting somthing from this Blog Post this time, also as we go along you will get many pointers, about how to, look after and care for you chooks and other animals as we use all their fiecies, for composting for our organic Garden as we don't like useing Chemicals on any of our Property, all our Garden is fed with composted Manure, plus worm tea, Rabbit pee, and all the worm castings, also if you have any questions you want to ask you can email us on 2get2it@gmail.com  ok great because we are just learning and are also willing to help where we can so until next time Keep smileing and blessing one and other and help where you can through the tough times.
