Hi Everyone
Time to ask you friendly people some advice .
I am still a relative novice when it comes to keeping chickens and at the moment my 7 birds are only laying beteen 1 and 4 eggs per day . i have not changed their pellet and corn mix and they have plenty of greens etc , the only thing that is different is that they all seem to be losing their feathers on the neck and breast this i am told is ok because being a year old it is their first molt .
What i want to know is how long does this normally take and is there anything i can do to kickstart them egg laying , they have plenty of oyster shell in the run and i give them a cider vinigar mix twice a week .
Thanks everyone
