    How much feed for 12 layers?

    hahahaha you just made me laugh Auscal but thanks for trying. We were looking for the simple easy way and that is just figuring out using cups since our scoop was about a cup. Someone recommended a 1/2 cup per chick a day and that I can do easily. We started on that 2 days ago and it is...

    How much feed for 12 layers?

    Thanks for all of the help and suggestions. We went with 6 cups for our 12 chicks starting 2 days ago... That seems to last a day. So thank you to the one who suggested a 1/2 cup a day.

    Thanks. But one of our problems was that everyone does recommend the feed by lbs... who buys a scale to weigh chicken feed though. We have a cup size scoop and therefore kind of needed to know how cups people are feeding.. ya know?

    How much feed for 12 layers?

    Hello! I have 12 Red Star layers. My husband and I sometimes notice when we feed the hens in the morning and evening that they seem like they are starving. I am worried that maybe we are not feeding them enough. How many cups per hen? Also, do people keep food in the pens at night? or do you...

    I am new to chickens and BYC. We have 12 two-week old red pullets and have been learning a lot from friends and family and of course BYC. I thought I read somewhere to ween the chicks of night time food? Is that right? When?

    I like the idea of the small secure pen and then the attached large BIG pen.

    Red Pullets

    We just started our chicken raising adventure and decided to go with the red pullets from TSC. It seems from what I am reading they will definitely be good egg producers, and that it what we really wanted. It also seems that they have a good temperment. We have our coop design down. Any ideas...
