Just curious what the amount of supplemental feed I should be giving my girls (we have about 60 now), when they are free-ranging all day. I think I may be overfeeding them with laying pellets and cracked corn. So I need a formula if anyone has one!
 
Where are you? Right now here the pasture is just starting to sprout.
If it's not really cold there now, I'd quit the cracked corn all together.
Give the layer free choice.
I use about 20 lbs per 7 birds a week in winter and half that when the pasture is good.
