If these little feathered friends of mine had 4 feet & fur - I would know exactly what to do!!! With all my dogs I have to worm them periodically/ get their shots/ I know all the correct supplements to give to keep them healthy and make them "shine". But now with the chickens, I don't have a clue other than feed & water.
What kind of "maintenance" do the chickens need? Are there supplements they should be getting? They are almost 3 months old - I am feeding them the Starter and giving table scraps. I have 9 Austrolorpe (8 hens & 1 rooster) & 12 Sex Links (all hens) + 1 Game Rooster & Hen. They all appear healthy and happy - I just don't want to be missing something. Also - I have heard that here pretty soon I need to change the feed from the Starter to Crumbles and start adding Scratch (in a feeder like the food??) - when do I do this??
