Thats a really cute chick on your avatar, what kind is it? I've been around the block so many times on chicken feed, I'm sick of hearing it. I have read enough articles to know what is and isnt good and I go with what works for me. I change it up a little bit between summer and winter and make sure they get good greens when they are available. They are all healthy and thats what matters most.
I wouldn't feed "old roy" my vet says that kills animals, gives them cancer
Thanks for the welcome, I've been reading this thread till my brain is about to explode, but I sure have learned alot!!!!!! I don't have chicks yet, I need to get a coop up and have my girls all picked out, in the mean time I'm learning everything I can.
My question now is about scratch, what is it's purpose?
LOL. There's a great movement towards label readers and after spending 2 hours in a Petsmart one day, I did actually find a brand of dog food that was honest about what was in it. I think there may be 2 brands out there like that now. If you look at the ingredient label, see how many dog foods start with some cereal grain instead of chicken, lamb, salmon, or whatever. Even the real expensive brands have the same garbage in them. Long story short, if the bag says "salmon and sweet potato", I would like that to be the first 2 ingredients on the label.I wouldn't feed "old roy" my vet says that kills animals, gives them cancer

Michael, it never dawned on me til a few weeks ago that if I'm feeding 16% chicken feed and my chickens free range, get treats, and such, their diet really isn't 16% protein is it. Which is their minimum requirement. This thread sure has a lot of micro subjects, and I'm to blame too, not that it bothers me, but there is some really good info in here , and even the off topics can get one thinking about some pretty important stuff.
