    question about feeding show bantams

    Ive been feeding my daughters show bantams (OEGB, cochins, Duccles) layer crumbles. I feel we are lacking in plumage. Should I be feeding them game bird feed?. my feed store has one by Manna Pro that is 30% protein.

    Is this ok Temporary housing?

    My 9-10 week old bantam chicks are starting to fight in their solid bottom cage. I haven't been able to get the chain link panels for my new coop yet and don't want to take chances putting them with the layers. Can I separate them into 18x24 individual wire rabbit stacker cages for now...

    my penpals feed is DUST, can I ferment it?

    I decided to try penpals layer crumbles but when I opened the bag it was practically DUST. My layers hate it (my bantams dont mind) can I ferment this feed? I was thinking it would make it easier to eat than dust
