Is it wrong to always have scratch/feed down for the chickens? I have a feed 'trough' for them inside the coop for at night,
and one in the run for during the day...they are just starting to free range now that they are 7 weeks. I don't want to over feed
them, but feel I may be doing that. They also get a tray of treats at night to get them back into the coop, grapes, rice, lettuce,
squash, whatever I have left over...enough that they gobble it up in about 3 minutes...so not a lot in my eyes.
I free feed my cats, so wondered if it is not the correct way to feed chickens. Thanks, I appreciate any and all advice!
