I have read so much on here, but wanted to be clear. In an ideal situation, what exactly is the right combination to feed your chickens? Wheat and barley fodder on a daily basis, natural foraging, supplement with BOSS and kitchen scraps and as a "treat" scratch feed? Or is there a necessity for the commercial feed if they are getting enough protein from the other sources? If I can forgo commercial feed entirely that would be my first choice. The protein levels in the wheat and barley fodder would be sufficient no? Then in winter when natural foraging is out (for those of us in snowy climes) you would have to supplement? Sorry, am a newbie!!
