Is this a terrible idea? I have one electronet and currently my hens and roo are in it and loving it. I bought it in order to use it with my little meat birds but I don't know if I have the heart to take it away from my hens. I could buy a second one but I wondered if there'd be too many problems putting my little heritage meat birds out with the hens.
They are Red Sussex crosses and around 5 weeks right now. My hens and roo are various heritage mutts. Will it hurt them to have access to the broiler crumble if they ALSO have access to laying crumble? Will the hens laying choose the food that works for them if they need the extra vitamins in the lay crumble?
It would be really nice to let them out together and since they're not Cornish Xs, I thought there might be a chance that it would work.
