Feeding green stuff??
I limit my flock on scraps from the kitchen, i do give them peas 2-3 times a week. I do allow them to free-range so they eat grass all the time. they can have as much grass as they want. Free-ranging makes your flock healthier and gives them nice shiny feathers, and makes the eggs dark orange...- Taylor

Will scratch grains hurt my pullets future egg laying?
I recently bought dark brahmas and speckled Sussex from a woman who solely fed them scratch grains. Would that have hurt them in any way? Will they lay well in the future? They are very pretty and very healthy besides the point. I've got them on grower now.- Taylor
