    Free range, how much feed do they need?

    I have a bowl of fermented feed that i take out in the morning.. Sometimes this lasts them until early evening and sometimes i have to top up midday it just depends on if there are any kitchen scraps and how long they get out for free range time... I always add another small biwl in the coop...

    superworms

    I bought some superworms (look like mealworms but 4x the size) from local pet store who told me there very popular with chicken owners.. Now im reading stories that there not safe because they bite and can chew through the chickens crop? Is this true? How do you feed them? Just chuck them out...

    feeding question

    So its ok to leave fermented feed out all day? I suppose it wouldjust continue to ferment? Do you ever give kitchen scraps? So when you remove feed while they range do you put it back after or just leave them with the scratch? Do you not give your birds food over night? Ok thanks everyone...
