I have searched and found quite a few posts about dog food, but I didn't see much on the effects eating dog food has on pullets. I have a neighbor that has been intentionally feeding soaked dry dog food to his laying flock for about a month now, along with his usual commercial laying pellets.
A couple of months ago he took a trip out of town and I tended his animals. They are well taken care of, but weren't laying as well as they should and just appeared to have someithng missing. He went on another trip this past weekend and once again I took care of the chickens.
I could not believe the differences in his hens. They look better all over. They have brighter combs, cleaner appearances, and fuller all over. They are also laying TWICE as many eggs, if not a few more. The only change he made is the hi pro dog food.
What do you all think? Have you ever heard of any adverse effects from dog food, or seen these positive changes after chickens eat dog food?
