Hi @familyfarm1!

I'm only talking about chickens for now on! I think I helped, never mind just think chickens.
I forgot I had a digital scale, how do you weight eggs? In grams? That one was 84grams is that big?

 

[hennible]

I think that's huge. Yup grams

I know that many of us have many different styles of how we feed our chickens, what we feed them and why we feed them what we feed them, I was hoping perhaps everyone would share their method on how they feed their chicken and a bit of why they do it.......Noone has the end all be all method but we ALL have a method that works for us........would love to hear from everyone on the matter? Also maybe some methods you have tried and why they didnt work out for you?

@Amberjem I free freed my chickens layer diet in the coop. Reason for that is that it's simply too cold to even open the coop door. Free feeding layer diet seems to work with my schedule and especially in this cold weather here I'd rather they have food available at all times to keep warm.

They also get ~1 cup of grains every few days which they scratch for on the coop floor. Or some "fresh" cow fat/meat from the butcher on those really cold days. (or when I remember to thaw it out, so about once a week).

I also sprout 2 trays of wheat for them and try to rotate one tray into the days where they don't get scratch grains or other kitchen scraps. They get more scraps on days where I don't work as I spent more time in the kitchen. From now on every other weekend!
