Mixing 2 different types of feed bags together save money?

no that's just a treat mostly we feed laying pellets 20%

20% laying pellets and the 80% rest is what?

lol! Can chickens eat ANY kind of vegetable?

Here's the Treat Chart- this should help you out! https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=2593-Treats_Chart

Off the top of my head, however, NO AVOCADO.
Again, good luck!​

where you buy laying pellets they make a 16% and a 20% protein, The 20% is higher but is better

Ohhh ok I did not know they had different percentage choices.. nice!

Thank you for the treat link.. now that I have read that, I am going to go give them some old bananas!

Meal worms eh? I wonder if it is possible to raise enough meal worms to feed them every day? or would they still lay?

What if I raised Mealworms, earthworms and crickets for them to eat? Could they live on just those and still be healthy and laying?
