They get kitchen veggie scraps in the morning with added BOSS or mealworms a few times a week. I plan to freerange a bit once I can be out to supervise or get a portable enclosure.Maybe I missed this info. Are your birds free ranging all day? If no what are they eating the other 23+ hours after they eat their daily ration in 15 minutes?
Thing is I was getting 20+ eggs a day last year. Same amount of feed just dry.
I have been working on adding things for them to do but is limited as the grass is just coming up.
Once the garden is going thru get helps of weeds and scraps of plants and blemished fruits n veggies. They also have the raised beds with getting over top to grow clover and grass in their large pen.
I was going to add a daily folder mat for them and I was thinking maybe a "flock block" until they can get out more. Or get more greens and scraps.
