Hi all!,
I have read a ton, but this is my first post. I would love to just check what I am doing- since I am a first chicken owner.
I have 6 chickens all around 22 weeks. I am guessing they aren’t laying yet because of the southern heat.
But here is what they are getting-
Unlimited water with apple cider vinegar
Feed- mix of corn, black sunflower seeds, oats (unrolled, cleaned), diatemachous earth, (unlimited supply in treadle feeder)
Morning and after noon- chicken feed (finishing up grower before buying layer)
Crushed granite grit
Oyster shell
Treat Meal worms, watermelon, etc.
does this seem balanced? Too much? Too little?
thanks for any information!
