Ok, we rescued a couple of drake ducks from a co-worker about a month ago and while their advice is not something I would take because of their lack of care towards their chickens(whole other story we dont need to get into!) but she made a comment that someone had told her and it got Hubby and I thinking and I keep forgetting to ask here.
She feeds Layena Crumbles and was told to do so because there is less waste than when feeding Layena Pellets.
We feed Pellets mixed with a scratch grain, about 75/25 ratio and yes.. there is a bit of waste to the pellets but they seem to clean it up esp. with the ducks...garbage hounds that they are!
So...... do you think that feeding Crumbles to adult hens means less waste than using Pellets or is that personal choice, old wives tale, etc.?
We have a couple weeks before we buy feed again and since Hubby keeps asking if I posted about it.... I figured I would before we purchase just to see what opinions are.
