if you dont have access to laying pellets whats the best alternative

[montana girl]

How many hens do you have?

For me (I was diagnosed with lupus this past year and times got VERY tough) I fed my girls oats, scrambled eggs with the shells on, lettuce, apples.. etc, and they did just fine for a couple of days.

Not sure how long you need to feed alternative food to them for?

Do you have the option of letting them free range?

Let us know how you do ok?

1st off saying hens can not survive without feed is pure bull.my hens an turkeys made it through winter on less than 25lbs of feed.an it didnt kill them.an they are making it now without feed.they are out eating all the buggs worms an ticks they want.an they are nice an fat.if you can find some 14% pellet feed not cubes.they can eat that or corn or oats.
