I have read a few post about chicken feed having animal protien in it. I am well aware that chickens will eat anything that moves. I have seen them do some crazy things!! I have some chickens that I want to breed and start selling/trading eggs/chicks/started birds. Am I correct in my thinking that a higher protein feed will help with better looking birds? If I'm wrong, what is the best thing to help with this? Vitiamns, supplements(sp)? What do you do for the best looking birds? Keep in mind, I'm not going to show these birds I just want them to be as pretty as they can. I live in Gerogia and have heard and considered using Faithway feeds. I would like all the feedback I can get. Thanks!!

Feathers are made from protein, so a high protein feed will help your birds grow their best looking feathers. Many people use game bird feed, which is much higher in protein that typical chicken layer feed (but be sure to check the calcium content and supplement if necessary for your laying hens).
