BOSS is a treat, much more protein than chicken scratch ( which I don"t use) and it promotes feather growth. I don't add it to feed, I give it as a daily treat.

Most feed small amounts of it as a treat. It adds some protein to their diet and supposedly the oil helps keep their feathers shinny and oils the laying tract. I toss a little in the coop when I'm working in there to keep those hens that didn't go outside from getting under foot and then again at night so they'll have something in their gizzards/crop for overnight. Also their digging through the shavings to find it keeps everything stirred up and dry. Feed it shells and all, their gizzards will grind the hard stuff up.

I only got one but had to pick up other feed as well--don't have the storage room and don't need to feed mice. Took me 5 minutes to get the feed and another 40 to check out. The place was mobbed and they only have two registers. Some people were hauling away 5 and 6 bags of the BOSS but buying other stuff as well.

One for the wild birds and one for the chickens! Nobody was in our TSC. But they were having trouble with the registers, credit card overload!
