Run is outside - pine straw flooring. They don't get any free range time yet as I live in a neighborhood and need them less skiddish for when it is time to go back in their run/coop.
I've been offering grit every 3-4 days to my 5 hens (8 weeks old). I spread a half handful on the ground around their food and another half handful spread throughout the run (5'x12' run). Do I need to be offering more? Am I wasting money by offering too much?
