I was curious if replacing my chicken feed with scratch would be ok. I am aware that scratch is lacking in protein, so if anyone could recommend a good source of it that would be helpful as well. I have Buff Orpingtons and Barred Rocks.
I want to make sure they are as big as possible. I've been told that at some point you can't eat roos anymore, but they seem to have a growth spurt before 28 weeks. How old can they get before you can't eat them?
