Try posting your question in the Feeding your Flock section

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

Hi and welcome-byc.gif

Yeah, anything regular chickens can't eat. I read somewhere that they eat less corn than other chickens, but I'm not sure about that. lol.png

Good luck~!
