Good day,
Didn't know how to title this. But it's come to my attention thanks to chicken math I will be having at least 50 hens. Now the feed costs scare me. So my question is, if these chickens get free range all day (only in coop at night to sleep) can that be an alternative to chicken feed? Do I have to feed as much to them? Do I have to feed at all? I understand 1/4 lb a day per chicken but if free ranging how much does it cut down on the feed cost in reality?
