    Best snacks/treats/food for a mixed flock

    I live in the UK so our weather doesn't get too warm, but I try to get the girls a variety of seasonal veggies in. I can't give our flock mealworms or black soldier fly larvae as these are illegal to feed chickens in the UK (due to the rubbish processing, sometimes animal deritives are...

    Feed questions

    So I’m switching my flock over from a layers feed to an all flock feed because of my ducks do I need to offer extra calcium for the chickens or any other supplements and is there anything else I need to know about switching feeds?

    Feeding laying hens and a rooster

    Kalmbach Feed - Any Reviews?

    I have had chickens for 4 years now and I have always fed them Purina. To begin with I fed Layena when I only had layers and then switched to Flock Raiser once I had a mixed flock (age & gender). I have ducklings and have been feeding them Purina Duck Feed (pellets that I grind up a bit for...
