Hey all!
I recently got 4 chickens last weekend. A production, olive egger and two copper maran. It has been a long time since I have owned chickens. Right now we have them in a chicken coop that was bought from tractor supply. Does anyone has any suggestions as to what other foods you have had luck with feeding your chickens? I mix flax and chia seeds in with their food. I have also been giving them bananas and apples. Although I don't think they liked the bananas and apple.
Also, since I keep their feed and straw outside in a big storage container. I was thinking about throwing a few mothballs in the container not in the food container though, but I was wondering if the straw that I keep in there could absorb the mothball smell? Kind of like my clothes do in my cedar chest? And I also read somewhere you could put mothballs on the outside of a coop/run? Has anyone tried this?
Thanks
