How much and how long do you feed cat food? Does it need to be crushed or dampened for the chickens to eat it?
Have you ever tried DuraLife Hi-Protein dog food? At 28% protein is that too high?

the cat food i feed is 35 to 48 % protein , and no i dont crush it or anything

Oh, it's on there! It just doesn't show up very well in that second photo. Otherwise those two would be long gone on the hunt for some ladies.

And that was built this week ...that's an amazing set-up.!

My chickens think they are part duck. I was giving them fresh water when one of their dust bathing spots got filled w/ water, they ran for it like it was a worm and surrounded the puddle all taking turns walking through or standing in it, they played w/ the water until it all drained out of the hole. So I went to the other pen and purposefully filled a dust bathing area w/ water and Oreo did his treat call for the girls and they did the same thing. Is that normal?

What cat food...I have Purina. How much...a handful mixed in with their pellets....?
I'm assuming these are grown stock and just have feather issues.....

Yep, they like to stay clean too, even if they have to use mud to do it with.

It took most of two weeks of non-stop work to build it. We ran into a snag here or there, but it's a pretty simple design. The building is 10'x30' and the run is 30'x40'. I still have to stain the backside of it still and attached the apron to the outside of the fence so nothing digs in. I just have to stop moping over Bil being gone again and get it done.
