Guess what, it's here again or just around the corner for some too. So, I figured...

    Quote: Yeah 23% protien is a little high for the silkies but its just about the right % to feed for broilers/ meat birds. Instead of 3/4 to 1/4 I'd try 2/3 to 1/3 this should put you in the 18 to 20% range just right to grow healthy chicks. And I do recommend feeding a medicated starter for...

    Yes that's the brand feed supliment you can add with your reg. rations. About the meal worms and crickets, I don't feed my girls any of this because I let mine out everyday to grub for themselves. And as far as ground meat or fish don't know either don't use it. To me chickens are too...

    Sandrachx: I use the same container to feed in of known weight. Yes I put the same usually twice daily. I know just how much they eat in a days time so I don't have to empty the feeder out in the evening. You don't have to do that. I just do it to keep the varmits from coming and getting a...

    I see that alot of the slow or non producing posts are from northern climates just a little different from here in La. So I'll try to help with some of your Ques. What makes it harder for me is not knowing much about yall's local feeds. as far as the higher protien ration to tell you to try...

    I feed my 12 or 13 layers all the laying pellets that they eat in a day about 4lbs. any more and I have to pour it back in the feed barrel at night so the varmints don't come in get them a gut full at night. All my other little whatchamacallits run pretty much wild they get whatever, whenever...
