    New to all this - 3 hens in my backyard coop

    personally I feed my girls layer pellets 24/7 and give them treats maybe twice a day. Chickens need a balance nutritional diet which mine get from their pellets plus greens. I am still very new to chicken other on here have far more experience than I do. Good luck with your girls x
