I’m about to take the leap to ff only
I started using it last year and quit when it got cold in November and went to dry then just started back up April 1
I got a 5 gallon bucket and mix in that. I add more as I use it.
I fill two 13 cup containers in the morning and then if they are gone by late afternoon I fill it once more. Boy that sounds like a lot I feed 30 layers.
And in March I got 17 chicks and ff their feed too. I serve
In a container about half that size
I am thinking about going to all flock feed so I don’t have to buy chick starter and layer feed. I do have egg shells mixed with oyster shell on the side. About a week ago I have started letting the two out together. But it’s a hassle to try and keep them both from the others food.
And from what I have read all flock is a good choice for that. I am assuming as long as I provide the egg shells I can put both on all flock indefinitely?!?
And I am hoping to have a broody and baby chicks. So all flock it is?
Oh and one other thing if we have some one else tend to the chickens if we aren’t home can they go to dry and then back to ff when we get home? Trying to make it simple for helpers.
Thanks
