So my mom bought my chickens a bag of Cluckn Sea Kelp and I am really excited because I've read about the benefits of feeding kelp/seaweed to chickens.
However... it says to mix 1/4 cup into 11 lbs of food. If I do this, all of the sea kelp goes to the bottom of the bucket. And when I feed my chickens (all THREE of them) I'm certainly not giving them 11 lbs. So, how much kelp do I give them?
I feed them morning and evening. In the morning I give maybe 3 handfuls into each of the two feeding dishes. In the afternoon I give a small handful into each dish. So, I would probably just give the kelp in the morning, but I don't know how much to give! The Cluckn Sea Kelp also says you can give 1/2 tsp in two spoonfuls of yogurt as a treat. But I don't want to give it as a treat, I want it to be daily.
Please help. I want to start giving this to them tomorrow if possible.
