Hey all!
I'm a new BYC member, and go my first flock May 10th. I have: Black Aussies, Dominiques, Anconas, and Americunas. I bought them primarily because they are good foragers. I have a large field, and wooded area that they will find lots of food in. I plan on supplementing with chicken feed, but was hoping their foraging will make a dent in that. Will feeding them less feed encourage more foraging, or should I just always leave food out and let them monitor their own diet? What will will they prefer to eat?
Thanks!
