I have a mixed flock of 63 (42 ducks, 17 chickens, and 4 geese) that are all free range during the day and locked up, for safety from the evening until morning. We live on 15 acres of mostly pasture with a little woods but the birds usually only range the same, about, an acre. Also I have two different age groups in both my chickens and my ducks. I have 37 ducks and 5 chickens that just hatched in April of 2020 and the rest of my chickens and ducks are well over a year old so are on layer feed. My geese also hatched in April of 2020.
Now that I’ve spewed all that info out, my question is how much commercial feed do you think I should be giving each age group each day during the warm months vs the cold months when they can’t range for food?Any advice would be appreciated. Also, I supplement their feed with brewers yeast and probiotics.
Thank you in advance!
