I have been feeding them a treat once a day. They don’t get much of whatever I choose. I thought giving a treat once a day was a good thing. Thank you for the information. Still learning.The treats...you feed daily?
If so please stop. Overfeeding treats can cause overweightness very quickly.
Overweight hens are much more prone to suffer from reproductive type illnesses.
Treats shouldn't be feed daily. If you feed treats of any kind keep it one tablespoon amount worth or less per bird.
Balanced diets are best for preventing illness.
Balanced diet is the complete, age appropriate poultry feed in a pelleted or crumble form. A whole grain type feed gives the birds to pick and choose what they want to eat which can cause major issues too because that is not a balanced diet either
