[MrsSmitho]

Morning!!

Didn't I read...somewhere on here...that some folks use creep feed as a treat for their chickens??

They LOVE the scratch...

I just like to give them a variety

my babes aren't spoiled at all!! hehehehe

Our guineas always clean up around the calf feeders, in which we feed creep feed. I would assume chickens would do the same

I'll enlighten y'all 'creep feed' is a pelleted feed used for calves and its put out in a feeder that the cows cant get into to eat. Called a creep feeder.
The feed is the same size pellet as the layer feed. I feed it to my horses .

I just bought some creep feed to off set my major food cost for my birds! 300lbs for $70 vs $80 for 2 50lbs bags of feed & 1 50lbs bag scratch/chops. I have a total of 50 birds! (Damn! Did not realize I had that many! DAMN Chicken math) wanted to know if there was anything other than oyster shells I needed to add? Still learning.
