We live in Northern CA and are surrounded by chicken farms. We didn't want to be left out so we just had to get some ladies of our own. We just started our little chicken flock of 4 in March, 2011. Our girls consist of a Black Sexlink, a Welsummer, a Ameraucana and a Brown Leghorn.
A chicken...
We ended up with a 50lb bag of 22% starter feed and have a small flock of layers. Is it ok to feed this to our layers or dilute it in some way? Our ladies spend most of the day running around the yard and grazing as they wish.
Thanks!
Hello everyone!
We just got our first few ladies last weekend and are excited to be joining the backyard chickens community!
