My pullets, about nine weeks old, have gotten so much bigger since they have been outdoors all day feasting on grass and whatever else they find. Then, when they go inside their house for the night, they gather round the feeder and eat as though they haven't had a thing all day. Their pop door is open all day so they could go inside anytime for some feed if they wanted any. They have waterers both inside and outside.
We recently had rain every day for over a week so they weren't out much and they seemed to slim down a touch. After a couple of days outdoors, they are bulking up again.
I'm suprised that grass seems to make them grow faster than just starter feed that has a lot of protein and some fat in it.
They are happy, active and look very healthy though, so I'm sure all that grass plus the feed must be good for them.
