Chicks on scratch
Quote: Thanks...keeping them on the same feed but just wanted to give them a treat from time to time. Something easy and they already come running to the fence when I throw scratch for the big girls.

Extra protein for chicks
Quote: We are just finishing up a bag of Nutrena Country Feeds from a local store. It is 18% and does have animal protein.
