Feed prices increasing, points to ponder.

[Mamagirl3]

I just bought 50 pounds of Kalmbach Flock Maker 20%. $21.31, plus tax. I think it's been the same price for a few months. I'm thankful for that.

This time of year, the only "free" food I can come up with my for chickens is kitchen scraps. The garden is done, the bugs are dead (YAY!), the ground is frozen.

Since they're molting/just getting over molting, I keep the treats to a minimum, except for their mash snack made from their feed.

I use the dried mealworms for treats the majority of the time. They are spoiled and if i sit in this one chair..they will all come running... singing their little coos.. and i feed them from my hand... so they dont get too many and i can make sure everyone gets some... if put it out the pecking order determines who gets what! Hahaha
