    Yes! That’s a great idea I think that’s what I’ll stay doing with this last bag and the I was going to try other brands to compare and see. Thank you!

    That makes a lot of sense and I would’ve made the switch. I’m in Florida so I’d have to check if FRM makes it here I hope they do as I’d love to try it. Pardon my ignorance this is my first flock :) is this the same Purina that makes dog food?

    Is it time for Supplemental Calcium yet?

    I really appreciate you sharing this especially the tip about introducing dirt for immune support. That actually makes a lot of sense and I like the idea of doing it gradually and intentionally. I’ve been pretty strict with their hygiene, but I also started taking mine out in temporary runs...

    I think there’s a bit of an assumption there. I’m not actually giving them “all that other stuff” regularly. Their base is balanced feed and actual food /herbs etc, and I keep additional options on hand as needed. Just trying to raise them thoughtfully, not overcomplicate things.

    This is perfect tha you have a mixed age flock so do I so that clears more questions for me as this is my first flock ever. I figured they’d eat as they need I’ll have it freely available for them. I dont like the idea of keeping them dependent on just their feed like many people do.

    This makes sense thank you so much! I have offered them toasted egg shells and they pecked at it. I’ll find the oyster shells :)

    Is it time for Supplemental Calcium yet?

    Hi all! I have 8 week old chicks and 3 week old chicks. All 11 are layers to be :) I’d like to know when I can start them on supplemental Calcium and what you guys use for calcium. I try to stay on the natural side for their diet so whole foods, herbs etc. They do have the typical supplements...

    Mmm now I’m wondering if I should change their feed. I’m new to raising chicks. The feed I have then on is Naturewise and it’s starter/grower. At the feed store I was told they’d do fine with that. I don’t want them to just be fine I want to offer the best quality feed and routine throughout all...

    Why don’t you like Dumor? I was thinking of switching to that one because Naturewise has a lot of crumble…dust from the feed not sure if all feed is like that. That one is also starter/grower so I figured why change the food when it’s good throughout all stages of their lives? I’m also new to...
