Yes, layers, I have no idea how old the lady gave me 2 different ages, but I would guess going on 5 months. I just added the oyster shells to their diet but no one has had any yet I don't think & I added the chicken scratch. I give them bread, crackers, brocolli, & carrots for treats. Plus their have been on the food for growing up, but I just got some layer food for them yesterday.
Anything I should add or take away?
She seem a bit better this morning, but not out of the woods. She would have to be my fav. She comes to me & lets me pick her up & get petted
Thank You,
Nadia & the Pack
