I don't have the space to store extra bags and recently we have had a problem with pests eating chicken food at night. Actually it could be our black lab/BC cross who is eternally hungry.
Yesterday we ran out of food and I couldn't get to the store.
So I'm looking around my kitchen for things I can feed the chooks while I go to the store today to supplement their foraging in the garden (we are in So Cal so there is plenty of grass and worms around right now)
They had cooked oatmeal with an egg stirred in, melon seeds, squishy strawberries, chia seeds and chopped cucumber ends. They seemed pretty happy with it and I'm not going to stress about what they eat for one day. If I had thought about it I could have run to the store and bought wheat berries to soak and ferment. I have live sauerkraut in the fridge.
Any good tips on what to feed your ladies if you run out of food?
Wondering how far out of balance my food was.
