Feed foulup HELP PLEASE

[Ebony Rose]

Like other legumes, raw lentils contain a type of protein called lectin that, unlike other proteins, binds to the digestive tract, resulting in a variety of toxic reactions, such as vomiting and diarrhea. Yikes. Luckily, lectins are heat sensitive, and break down into more digestible components when they're cooked!

Thank you. These are all but 2 of my babies. They still like to hang out in our around what use to be the brooder. One hen has a home as soon as she is big enough. The 3 known cockerels will need homes so when all is said and done I'll have 6 or 7 chickens. 3 banties and 3 or 4 regular. They have been outside for a few weeks now and they eat everything. My bug problem in the back is no more. They are good with grit. Knock on wood but I have had no issues so far. I handle each bird everyday so they are closely monitored. I was worried because the temps went to freezing a few nights. No issues. I am really hoping it stays that way. They are also supplemented with the Scratch and Peck herb and occasionally I add 1 tbsp ACV to one gallon of water. They are super healthy. Also, my daughters don't like meat much so very often I'll feed them tiny cut up chucks of various mostly baked meats. They love the leftover spring salad when my family won't eat it anymore. I try to go organic as much as possible. I really try hard to ensure these birds get the best possible care. It is super important to me.. I promise I don't neglect any aspect of their care. Not only because they are important to me but I don't want to raise meat birds. I want to be able to guarantee any bird coming from me is tip top creme de' le'creme of chickens. It's really important to me. That's why the I even went to far to ensure the parents of my eggs were from Greenfire farms. (The Mille Defluers were obtained at 2 weeks) This stuff is super important to me.
