Hey - for all you people who have free range or experience with wild chickens - do you think there is less food available when it rains alot? Maybe less bugs out there available to catch?
Just wondering because the last week or so it has been raining quite a bit here. It seems like the chickens are much hungrier than usual. One of my wild chicken friends used to only come out once a day and ask for food - the rest of the time she was out somewhere doing her thing. But the past week or so she is always hanging around asking for more food.
Then Casino and her two chicks. I do feed them more often than the other chicken - and the chicks are growing (about 6 weeks old now) - but it just seems like this week they are so super hungry and demanding.
What do you all think?
