    HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS if there is no scratch or pellets?

    I tried to let mine out for the first time a couple days ago on a really nice day. They barely left the doorframe of the shed. However a lone mesquito flew past me towards the center of them like a moth to a flame. I think it dodged two beaks... LOL

    HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS if there is no scratch or pellets?

    So I was heading into town and we started talking about feed a bit. This caused me to do some math. Turns out I got my farm store 200lbs for around .30/lb I just assumed it was cheaper at the Mill because EVERYONE has told me I should get it there. That was probably true for a LONG time but like...

    HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS if there is no scratch or pellets?

    There are ways to change the formula for sure, like one woman I saw had a wagon wheel pasture setup that looked realistic. So you know if you have like 5 acres and rotate the into 7+ different pastures. Like you said you can self butcher, I've got that setup but I wouldn't want to do 250lbs x3...

    HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS if there is no scratch or pellets?

    You mean how much more am I paying per pound for my hobby because it tastes better? Let's see: $460 in 8 Combo, 2 hog and 1 cattle panel to make an extra good pen that's taller in case I got a climber jumper. We'll call it 31'x 29'. The two hog panels are for the loading shoot and the cattle...

    HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS if there is no scratch or pellets?

    Fair enough, I saw those numbers on YouTube and fell into the trap of believing what I saw on the internet. :barnie Plus the price changes so much lately on feed if the mill goes up before the farm store you might find a better deal there. Also depends on how much you buy, my feed mill bulk...

    Edit: Fake news re-shared. Sorry! It should still be cheaper from your local feed mill so give them a call if you're not using them yet.

    HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS if there is no scratch or pellets?

    I recently got feeder pigs for the first time. They came early with only a weeks notice to us so I just filled the feeder with farm store starter. Called a feed mill about ordering 1,000+ lbs of feed I could put in steel barrels and keep dry, learned that it will go stale and they won't eat it...

    HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS if there is no scratch or pellets?

    There are some differences: Some seeds are irradiated or otherwise treated to prevent sprouting so they last longer for you in food form. Think potatoes, some sprout and some last a long time on your counter right? Options vary but organic is good for sproutables vs a random bag as it probably...
