I think they are from a hatchery, but I'm not totally sure. I got them from my friend who has a lot of chickens. Someone gave them to her, then she gave them to me
My friend feeds 20% and has a huge variety of breeds. Mine get scratch and scraps, and the 18% pellets, plus free-choice grit and oyster shell. I was just wondering b/c I think it was a bit cheaper.
