Newbie-How to care for roosters

[beehumblewithme.com]

Glad you posted this. We just got 2 Roosters and I'll be getting and adding chickens in a few weeks. Luckily my husband works at a feed mill and makes it or I would have no idea what to feed them! I hope to be successful at this as I'm a newbie to! Welcome! I have a bunch of raisins wonder if they can have them for a treat! Birdseeds a trear I read to! I'm Vicky in Whitley City Ky!

Hi all! I'm brand new to having chickens and my husband's coworker just gave us 3 roosters. We have an existing coop that came with the house we just moved to, but I have no idea how to care for these guys. What do we feed them? How much? How often? My husband came home from the feed store with the only organic option they had, but it says that its a "layer complete 16 blend crumble." Well I know these guys aren't layers! Will this be ok to feed them though? I've also been giving them spinach and other random veggie scraps. Hubby also got a block of seed that's supposed to be a treat, and just sits in the coop? I don't know if we're doing this right at all! Please help!!

Hi and welcome to BYC we're so happy you've decided to join us If you have the option, I'd recommend swapping the layer out for a grower or all flock. You're looking for a feed with about 1% calcium.
