Some farmers use our driveway (which turns into a field road past our property) to access their fields. Today my husband went home for lunch and saw that the farmers has spilled a large amount (estimated several hundred pounds) of feed corn on the edge of our property where the chickens free range. He didn't have time to clean up that much corn before going back to work. We'll tackle it tonight (in the dark....) or keep the birds locked in their run tomorrow until it's handled.
Other than a drop in egg production from the hens feasting on corn all afternoon, are there any health concerns we should prepare for?
I was thinking I might add poultry booster or nutridrench to their rations for a couple days to even out the vitamin/minerals. They're normally on a 22% Kent feed, both dry and fermented available at all times.
