Okay.....The Corn and scraps are fillers....Zero nutritional value for the Birds....
Free range more....If you can, let them out everyday...?
Chicken Block is another treat....
No the table scraps I feed are full of nutritional value. It's left over from what we eat. Meat scraps and trimmings amoung other things. So full of protein for one since now that's it's hunting season they get deer scraps.
The chickens prefer corn over their feed on most days. I often wet their pellets and they like this much better. I feed the pellets to get them nutrients that are not in the other feeds.
The block has grains in it not 0 nutritional value but it isn't like it is full of extra vitamins, just what in it naturally, but it's more for their entertainment.
They aren't eating the feathers. And really they are all very health y birds. I don't see at all what's wrong with their feed. Are you trying to say I should feed nothing but store bought feed? I don't agree with this, my birds did not look as good when I only fed the bagged feed only. Free range they eat worms and bugs, some grass. That's mostly protien. I don't see how meat scraps would be any different. If anything I'd think more might do them better.
I'm not sure I understand what your getting at.
You say they are bored but condemed my use of the hanging bird blocks for some form of entertainment. I don't understand that either.
