Great grandma sold eggs as a business. She always mixed a few grains and that was what they got for food. It's desert over there so you must feed your birds. In this area, if I let the birds out for free range most of the year they eat very little feed. Plenty of grass and plants they love and even the silkies pull up bugs I wouldn't think they could find. The large fowl seem able to trick worms to come up. A few of the large fowl girls will go wade into puddles and dig around for water bugs.
