So, while I do not yet have a flock, I am preparing for it in advance. I bought a nifty Grandpa's feeder thingy...and now I'm choosing how I'm going to feed them suckers! ;-)
After about a weeks worth of painstaking reading and going back and forth, I decided to pull the trigger and order some scratch and peck layer feed. I wont get into the whole is organic really better blah blah....its been debated to death and at the end of the day...I just prefer the idea of NOT feeding something that will become a food source for me GMO's and soy/corn and such.
With that, one concern I do have after much reading, is that the scratch and peck is only 16% protein and I would like to supplement that with something that isn't....worms/bugs. Anyone have suggestions for a good animal based protein source I can use to supplement?
Also, any good recommendations on a great brand of shell product for my girls?
Thank you!
