It is unbelievably hot and humid here in middle Tennessee and so early in the summer. My three hens will hardly eat anything. I have Oyster shell out for them and grit. And plenty of water. I have bought layer pellets and crumble and they are not that interested. Their laying is sporadic. Since I am allergic to eggs I would be just as happy if they never laid another egg. Someone dropped off a pregnant cat near my house and she had her kittens in my compost pile. I have been feeding them everyday until they get a little older and then taking them to the New Leash on Life shelter so I found out quite by accident that the chickens love cat food, the Friskies wet cat food. They eat one of those small cans a day (there are 3 Orpingtons). I can tell they had lost a little weight and I thought this would help put some weight back on them, but not at the risk of kidney damage. They have only been eating catfood for a couple of days. What is the thoughts on this?
