Feeding my Chickens!

[Nadiia]

My chickens are nearly 6months old. They normally just eat Chick Crumbs but when I run out, I just give them fruit, bread and plain yogurt. What else can I give them? And when do I stop giving them the Chick Crumbs??

They should be on a layer feed.Are you getting eggs yet?

 

[Nadiia]

What's layer feed? No, not yet!

At 6 months old they should definitely be on layer pellets or layer mash.

I bought them some layer feed yesterday, thank you!

I see you are feeding your chicks yogurt. I have read that dairy products are not good for chickens. I will be interested to see what others have to say about that.

I read that it's good for them, they really enjoy it and so far nothing bad has happened.
