Crowing
Scratch, offered in limited quantities is fine. It's good for providing extra calories during very cold weather, or for a way of giving birds kept in runs something to do (that's why it's called scratch). Feed is designed to be a complete diet, with no extras needed.My chickens love the cracked corn or scratch grains. I keep their feeder full of layer pellets and another feeder with layer crumbers. And give the scratch in a feed bowl as treat. But they act like they would rather have just scratch. Is this ok?
