I do like chickens although I do not own any. I enjoy learning about them. Theses articles are very informative. I relate some of the feeding information to the quail that come to my yard every day to eat. I enjoy watching them eat and their interactions.
Learned some new things from the article. I tend to agree with flock owners who "let nature take its course concerning cold weather/winter slowing of egg production. The article makes a good reminder not to overload hens with snacks. We give ours greens --they love spinach and chard. In the spring we will plant them their own greens garden near their run.
Kudos on a very helpful article (and well written, says my English teacher husband).
Very good explanations and reasoning. The fact that you get not only tips, but the reason why and how the tips work is great. I have personal experience with some of these methods and can say that I have seen most of these work very well. The link for breed info was also a very helpful addition. Keep up the good work!
