I'm thinking Barnsdal is in northern part of the state, but I tend to get in trouble when I think

ok so what do most people feed their chickens as feed or do you just depend on bugs??? no wonder my chickens are so fat!!! lol i have always fed them pellets and scratch then i quit buying pellets because they acted like they liked the scratch more, well no wonder who doesnt like treats better? lol lol

Mine get laying crumbles, they eat it better than pellets, I've read it is a complete and balanced diet if it is from a knen producer, I usually get Nutrena since it is what most places around here sell. I get it cheaper than if I bought it at Atwoods or TSC. When I do feed scratch I have to limit it or they will not eat the other food.

Shel, I think I'm doing it all wrong, too. I mix equal amounts of oats, sweet feed, layer pellets, corn, chicken scratch & oyster shell into a barrel and feed them as much as they want every day. They've got about 3/4 an acre they wander around on for bugs and weeds and grass, too. I've only got 9 chickens until the babies are ready to go out.
We've had chickens around for years that the neighbors moved off and left but it wasn't until a month ago that I purposely went out and GOT some. I need to read up on what a proper chicken diet is, I guess.
