Aahhh - we’re definitely good then! I wouldn’t dream of giving my chickens more treats than they can eat in 10 to 20 minutes! One hen will get about 10 raisins a day which they eat in 20 seconds flat! Same for the mealworms and sunflower seeds... they get a bit more of that but they are definitely not eating for 10 minutes.
I always feed S&P grower (which is actually a bit lower in protein than the layer) because I have a roo with the flock.
I never give extra grain though, so overall that would raise the protein a bit.
Anyway, thank you for the advise! I hope the pampering is going to start doing it’s magic soon, I hate seeing my hens so bedraggled!

perfect!
Chickens are tough so they will be much better soon.

Are they laying eggs? That is always a good sign of health.

He is not retired yet but wishes that he was! The whole healthcare thing is one roadblock for us. He may have to work a few more years.

Here we get to keep healthcare in retirement if you have worked enough years. I thought all UCs were like that?

We got our healthcare taken away when Stockton filed bankruptcy.
