Let me explain i have 58 chickens 8-12 weeks old, they free range all day and they get lots of veggie scraps and bugs, im wonderign how much food im gonna have to suplment for them, i started off with 18 last week before i picked up the rest so i could see if it was for me or not i was feeding them about a coffe can full of chick food and 2 ears of ground corn for scrap with some bird seed (about a handful a day just to get them pecking) they seemed to do fine, im wondering how much chicken food i need to put out for them so that i have a balance between feeding them enough and just askign for wasting. I can get a 100 lb bag for 23$ im hoping that that will last about a month along with lots and lots of veggie and fruit scraps and other scraps i can get my hands on pluse the grasses and bugs they get free ranging.
Im sorry for the rant im just excited to have a new hobbie and lots of eggs to sell in a few months
