Scratch

Do I need to feed scratch to laying hens or is pellets fine or do they need both

They need layer feed. If you use scratch it should be only as an occasional snack.

Scratch is a more of a treat.....bribery, if you need it and just plain fun if you don't! They still need their regular laying food, and scratch is just something they love and something they enjoy - well - scratching for.

You are very welcome. I kinda new at this myself, but every once in a while a question comes up that I can actually answer. I almost hear angels singing when that happens!
