Hi All!
I am extremely new to raising chickens. I presently have 4 RIR hens. they free range in my fenced yard most of the day, and free feed at night inside their coop in the garage. Works well for them so far...
In about a month or so I will be getting meaties. I have toyed with the idea of supplementing meal worms in their diet. I will be breeding them myself. So, to the question, on a daily basis, how many meal worms should each be getting?? I am not too worried about getting them to table in X amount of weeks, just whenever they are ready. I am just supplying my family, I figure I will do 20 chicks 2x's a year.
Thanks in advance,
Cassie
