There is no animal byproduct in chicken feed. It's all grain products. Check your feed bags. It is required to list it if any kind of animal byproduct is used. Yes hens will eat bad eggs just like a dog or cat having a litter. This is not the same thing. They will not just eat other chickens...
My chickens get a very balanced diet. I do live off grid. Although I do buy pellets a 50lb bag lasts a while. I give them just about everything.
I grow a garden and can surplus to preserve it. I give back the crushed shells and throw out all of my table scraps for them.
I do not limit free...
