chickens are stuuuuuupid

Until recently, I had never even purchased any scratch. I"d rather use BOSS because it is higher in protein and helps promote feather growth.

Then I was the recipient of a "rescue" hen and she came along with the "feed" her former owners used. Yup, scratch. Her comb and wattles were so pale (plus she has scaly leg mites so bad her legs look like an ancient person's fingers with baaaaad arthritis).

After 3 weeks in her little quarantine coop, with good feed and treatment of those mites, she looks so much better.

But now I have scratch. So, now and then, I toss some of that out for my flock..... When it's gone, I won't be buying any more, either. Yes, they LOVE it! But I love M&Ms, too, and am not gonna have those as my only food OR my only treat!
