hello!
i am brand-new to the world of chickens and know next to nothing about their care.
i am rehabbing a hen that was attacked by a dog (she had emergency surgery on thanksgiving to fix a gigantic wound in her back and one thing i know now for sure is that emergency chicken surgery ain't cheep!) and i'm also caring for one of her sister-hens who is VERY skinny (both are skinny but the extra skinny one is bone thin).
when i went to redbarn feed for food they sold me a scratch mix but i've been reading here that scratch is maybe not such a great food. where/how can i find specific recommendations for diet?
also, i'd love to read about techniques/tips for living with indoor or indoor/outdoor pet chickens.
thanks in advance for all advice and help!
