I’ve started feeding them 1 1/2 cups of spouted barley, this turns into more like 6 or more cups of food, and I feed them about 2 cups of chicken scratch. Is this enough?

That’s a good idea I bought a pipe to make them a food container I just forgot I bought it! I’ll make it now then post a picture!I have a bin of food for my hens. So they always have food and it lasts 2-3 days before I refill it.
Sounds good! Make sure to round all sharp edges.That’s a good idea I bought a pipe to make them a food container I just forgot I bought it! I’ll make it now then post a picture!
I’m assuming it’s chicken feed? It came with-them when I bought them. I just thought it was called scratch. I’ve only had them for two weeks. I feel like they eat all day long...Welcome to BYC
Are you giving them chicken feed in addition? Do they eat everything, or is there some left by the next day?
Scratch is pretty high in fat and nutritionally unbalanced to use as more than a treat.
