My chickens are twelve weeks old tomorrow and I am wondering what the proper diet for them is.
At the moment I mix all their food in a bucket, I put about 80% organic starter/grower, 20% coarse grain mix and a handful of shell grit. I am wondering what else I should be feeding them. I have read that you should feed them some sprouts so I am in the process of sprouting some barley for them. Is there anything else I could be sprouting?
I also read somewhere that if you give them sultanas they don't get all clogged up, so I give them each four sultanas every few days.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I should be feeding them?
