I have two hens given to me by a friend, and I want them to start laying eggs. What is the best feed, laying pellets?

If I feed them kitchen scraps and they fill up on that, will the scraps cause a problem from the protein levels being lower than the laying pellets?

Congratulations on your new flock! To achieve balanced and complete nutrition, plan on feeding a complete feed, free-choice, meaning that there should always be fresh feed in your feeders. Depending on your schedule, you may consider feeding your birds twice per day to make sure that they always have feed, but one time per day is a common practice as well (just keep an eye on the feed levels in the feeders to make sure that they are never running out of feed). For more information on what to look for in a layer feed, click here. Hope this helps and good luck!
