So that's what I've been doing, just put them in a glass bowl by their feeder and sometimes there are some left at night when I tuck them in and other times there are some left :)
Honestly, I've wondered about how much of the feed that they waste :/ And thinking maybe they aren't getting the nutrients they need from the feed because so much is in the "fines". Frustrating. I have done a mash from time to time with the fines, but not sure they are getting the daily amount...
Oh wow! And lol about the Walmart/cooler thing!! I LOVE Montana BTW :D A friend of mine and I drove out there the year after high school, we had so much fun! We stayed in Billings for a week <3
So is it even worth it to feed the egg shells? What do they get from them nutritionally do you...
That's a great idea Blooie! Mine are molting as well and so that's why I added the BOSS in there for a snack every few days. But I like the boiled egg thing too! I just got some new oyster shell yesterday finally, had to order it...rural Iowa lol! The stuff I got from the local farm store...
Oh! I had no idea about that :o So are pellets better to feed? They waste SO much of the S&P layer feed :/ We did make them one of those 5 gallon bucket feeders and it's better, but they still don't eat the fines :(
I really try to not give a lot of treats, I mean they get the egg shells daily, but other stuff too. Like yesterday I gave them 10 strawberry tops and the egg shells and that was all they got. Some days all the extra they get is the egg shells. But yeah I'll definitely watch the treats, I...
Thank you! So, I am feeding a regular feed, not the pellets (sorry I don't know the terminology for the feed lol) it has the fines and then seeds etc. and it has pieces of oyster shell in it. It's Scratch and Peck Layer feed. I also have oyster shell out all the time for them and just started...
I've been saving our shells to feed back to my flock to help them get enough calcium and they gobble them up :D Question-how often can I give them the shells? We probably use 2-3 eggs a day on average, weekends are more, so do I give them every day, every other day?
