    new stock tank

    brewers yeast

    my pekins are 3 weeks old and have been on 1 cup brewers yeast for every 10 cups of food, they’re legs are strong and they LOVE running around outside. Do I need to decrease the amount of brewers yeast they need or could have been putting less this whole time cause they’re flyin through it?
