Of course not. Not much thought has been put into the Poultry industry. Lots of hype without scientific proof. Protein levels for certain breeds and proper nutrition is one thing finally understood.
Well, we were all taught something different.....When it is cold, the last thing I do is change diet or anything else...I will not take the chance during a stressful period to change feed....
Anyways a very wide view on Chicken keeping........
Cheers!
Anything other than the balanced feed provided is of no need to a Chicken......Kids love candy, would you feed that all the time?
Chickens do not need to eat Chicken livers........Anything other than feed is a filler and a possible killer........
Cheers!
