    Pullets who don't forage or eat treats

    Folks - So, I am little confused about the ratio of layer feed to everything else for hens who have some free range time? My 3 ladies get layer feed mixed w/ a little scratch (20:1) on demand, supplemented w/ a poultry conditioner (it was on sale at Tractor Supply, so I figured what the...
