Is it okay...?

[GlitterKitty]

The feed store here has weird hours and my chickens ran out of food. Is it okay that I fed them Medicated Chick Feed? I am only doing this until I can get their layer feed either tonight, Friday, or Saturday for sure if the feed store's open. No later then Saturday though.

Thanks

Yes....you can also give them oats, watermelon, scratch, grass cuttings, bugs.
I let mine freerange for a couple hours every day. They are beautiful and healthy and they eat less crumbles.

Thanks! I'd love to let them free range but my doggie will eat them

I think I'll lock up my dog and let them out for a bit later.. And I'll have to find some treats around the house too

Do they like peaches or strawberries?

Just yesterday I threw a couple mushy peaches out to the chickens. They devoured them post haste.

Awesome! I got some peaches and stuff in the fridge I bet they will love! I wish we had watermelon... they love that. The other day I fed them Chinese food
