Hi everyone! I am a newbie here on BYC and have some questions. We just got our first chicken about 4 weeks ago and wondering:
1. When do we start feeding them adult feed?
2. What else can we feed them other than store bought feed? Starting when?
3. We go organic as much as we can around here and want to do the same with our chickens. But I've heard that the non-organic feed is 'almost' organic but double the money. Does anyone have any true knowlegde of this? I am more than willing to buy organic feed but if it really is not a HUGE dfference from the non-organic it would be nice to save some $ on the feed. Also, our vege-garden will be going in soon (I know, a bit late)--all organic too--so maybe there is a supplement food source?
