    First time chicken owner, having a blast but wondering if I’m over feeding non feed.

    Ok so I didn’t give them any tri grain or scratch yesterday but today I tossed a grip of tri grain out in the grass for them to scratch around for. I won’t be giving them anything else today besides feed. I had another question about Welsummer chickens but I don’t want to OT. Thanks everyone...

    First time chicken owner, having a blast but wondering if I’m over feeding non feed.

    Ha you guys say that but they went from eating 1/4 a can of moist cat food in the morning to barely eating much of it. The youngest among them eat the most of it (hybrids) and they eat far less protein than they did when they were feathering out. I dunno what I’m going to do now. All my...

    They also have full access to alfalfa hay and get protein from moist and dry cat food as well as any leftovers like ground beef in tomato sauce with noodles :/ I get by doing this I’m probably not giving them the balanced diet they need so I’m going to cut way back and stop watching people like...

    First time chicken owner, having a blast but wondering if I’m over feeding non feed.

    We started with that, good to know because the girls really like that one I just switched to a bag of medicated because I would feel awful if they died of something preventable. This is probably going to come off as a stupid question but why is it bad to over fed them grains but they can free...

    Do they typically lay at the same time ish each day or not at all for that whole day if they miss it? I understand the Buckeye will taper off, she is only rated at 200 eggs per year but I got her for free ranging and mousing and she is doing great at both. The egg a day has been amazing but...

    First time chicken owner, having a blast but wondering if I’m over feeding non feed.

    Thanks for the info. Are there any goto YouTube channels that people here recommend for learning more? Milling my own food for them is highly appealing to me. I’ll drop down the tri feed to 1/8th a cup in the feeder per day after they get their morning feed eaten. I have another off topic...

    I’ve been feeding them all kinds of things, even grass seed. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. I give them things and they eat some and leave it. I just assumed you knew what they were doing like with the grit. They seem to only want so much of one thing before strutting off to eat grass...

    Sorry about the word errors, posting on a phone and don’t have time to go back and edit it. Hopefully you can get an idea of what I meant.

    So back in March we got two chicks. One was a light Brahma and the other was a Cochin. Brought them home without discussing it with my significant other and she fell in love immediately. So I took our son back to the store the next day and got another light Brahma and a buff laced polish. Of...
