Hey guys.
Completely new to this. We just got four chickens with a whole overgrown yard to themselves. We actually finally decided to get the chickens to help with our slug problem - and boy do they find them!
We will be wintering them inside with formal chicken feed. My question is: while they have free range of the back yard, will they need their diet of endless grasses, giant worms, slugs and bugs supplemented, or will they be alright with this current arrangement?
If it matters: they're a Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Leghorn, and unknown black and white, average size.
