Im just concerned with the expense.. although I give them scratch and with foraging im hopeful their consumption will go down. Should I keep the feed out all the time or just twice a day (as I read somewhere)?
I named #7 Farah (as in Farah Faucett) because she is so beautiful.
#1 is Cali the wind blew as I took that pic.. i didnt know if it would be helpful but I had hoped it would because it was such a great pic..
The Cockrells are all english orps.
Thanks for the explanation much appreciated.
Can I take them off starter feed since they are 13 weeks or should I keep them on that longer? I let them forage amd I supply starter chick grit (although there are small rocks & sand in ground).
They like to go...
Help please.
