2 Questions-Supplementing layer pellets and the composte bin

[nkeaton]

1-I use a store bought layer feed that's 15% protien. What can I supplement with for more protien?

2-I'm getting ready to move the girls to a new run where my composte bin is. From what I've read it will benefit all of us but should I stop putting avocado peels and coffee grinds etc., or will they sift through what's not good for them? It's not an enormous quantity of either compared to what's in there that's good for them.

For protein peas, beans, meal worms pricey if you don't raise your own. meat scraps. I would look into finding a higher protein feed it may be easier and just cost as much.

Having a second compost site would be the way to go. There are other things, besides the harmful stuff, that won't harm chickens but will just be kicked around, like banana and orange peels.
