13 handfulls of BOSS = WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DENALI]

Here awhile back i asked if anyone knew about how much BOSS to feed 13 RIR's. I have read all over the place a handful or two here or there but never a handful =how many birds. So i posed the question awhile back and again got the same answer from several hand fulls to a handful per bird. Well lets just say a handful per bird is a good ratio if you want to tar cracks in your pavement! Although i have to say i got 12 eggs out of those 13 RIR's that day, first time ever for that many since i acquired them.

I'm sorry I missed that post... what is BOSS?

Must have big hands.

13 hand fulls is maybe like a cup of seeds for me.

Black oil sunflower seeds.

Well, at least you got the eggs from them. LOL

I give 1 handful to the entire flock nothing more unless they really need the extra.

what is the deal with the seeds?

They give extra protien I give only about a cup for my whole flock of 11 hens unless someone has lost allot of feathers then they get more.

S'pose you got that many eggs cause they were too "oil-slicked" to hang onto em!!!!!
