    Hay for bedding

    @DIY Chick My girls are 3 months old today or 13 weeks. I feed them a 22% protein layer crumb Snacks include veggies from our table as well as bread and mealworms for treats. I occasionally see them eat the hay, but they mostly scratch at it looking for bugs.

    Hay for bedding

    @azygous I appreciate the information. I was very concerned at first, but after reading most people's posts on here, I feel much better. I'm not as concerned as I originally was.

    Hay for bedding

    @aart They are almost 9 weeks old now. I don't think they "gorge" on it. I've only seen it in a little poop. They mostly forage through the hay looking for insects.

    @Chris09 We sift through the manure...pun intended to get the actual truth. I show this film simply to make kids more aware of what food they are placing into their bodies. We in fact break down the Michael Moore scare factor of the movie.

    @JetCat Thanks for the information. I appreciate the expertise. Rookie here, gets nervous when it comes to my girls. I want to do right by them. Make sure they are healthy and all.
