Would layer feed and chicken scratch with cracked corn suffice for a good nutritional diet for my ladies this season? It’s my first flock ever And I want to make sure they are well fed.

Thank you!!I feed the same feed year round. Make sure their regular feed makes up 90% of their diet, and the scratch and corn, which are treats, are no more than 10%.
Layer feed is already only minimally sufficient. I don't advocate for reducing the diet further by adding fat and carbs. Best thing you can do for your birds in winter is provide them a draft free, well ventilated structure in which to sleep and avoid incliment weather with adequate space for roosting. FAR more important than offering extra fat.Would layer feed and chicken scratch with cracked corn suffice for a good nutritional diet for my ladies this season?
