LOL, true! But they don't do it much when they have free choice pellets. I wish they would spend more time foraging the pasture than hanging around the porch staaaar-ving. We also raise chicks under broody mamas, and after seeing one at a local farm with leg problems limping and dragging its poor twisted feet and legs, from lack of some nutrient, free ranging on 40 acres, not fed by owners ever, I just feel that to get peak production and optimal health, they should be getting enough vitamins and minerals. I am pretty sure they have enough calories free ranging, but personally I think their overall condition could be better especially with wet cold weather approaching.The fact they come running when you throw out scraps just proves they are chickens
