Day 11

I added a tablespoon of Bragg apple cider vinegar to a gallon of water for the hens.  This is really a preventative measure following the passing of the Ameracuna yesterday.

My reading says that this type of apple cider vinegar (unfiltered with the mother [gel like bacteria] included) has many health benefits.  The highlights were aiding in digestive health, a worm preventative, aids calcium absorption, kill germs that cause respiratory illness, repel insects, etc.

It seems like the alpha Wyandotte has picking on the Barred Rock more today but otherwise they all seemed fine.  Still not eggs yet but I would expect any day now they will start laying.
