My feed bill went down over summer. The girls were happy to forage with just a bit of a top up on commercial feed but nearly everybody is moulting just now & I am down to just 2 layers [Olivia & Portia], & they are asking for more of the commercial feed. I put 2 trays down this morning & they cleaned every last scrap up & were @ the door asking for dinner this afternoon. The cats are on a special diet so get fish in springwater & I put the cans out for the girls to clean up each afternoon. No~one gets a lot but everyone gets a sniff. All the frizzles are keen to get the fishy stuff but given their feathering that is hardly surprising. This is the 1st time I can remember everybody wanting more commercial feed instead of foraging more while they moult.During the best forage seasons the chickens in Catalonia ate a very small amount of commercial feed. I used to get the piss taken at the chicken club for feeding them any commercial feed at all.
