I have had 10 hens for a year now. We feed them high quality layer pellets. Of course every day with out fail,,and plenty of water. Also weekly ,,leftover bread and some food scraps and a can of corn/peas every 2 weeks or so.
They look healthy and lay lots of eggs with strong shells. What I am wanting to know is???
They always seem to be fighting hungry when I feed them. Like they have not ate in a week. I have never seen them ,or fed then enough to see them stop eating. Is this normal?? Or am I not feeding them enough?
I have heard of people putting feeders up that have non stop food,,,at this point,, I can't imagine doing that. I go through about a 40lb bag of food in 2 weeks with 10 hens.
