They really just need some food in their crop. But what the hay gotta spoil the flock. I'm guilty warm oatmeal & some of their eggs for protein.

I'm out of eggs. But I know where some brown ones are. I now raise big Ol' Honkin' Bob Whites & Layed back Coturnix. Pray For Rain In Texas!

Dry cat food, meat and fat scraps, BOSS, wild bird seed, hard boiled eggs to name a few.

I live in Central Maine on a small 1 acre "farm". I have a variety of hens, both standards and bantams. I just got a small incubator and want to start hatching some eggs!
