Which BYC member scares you?

I’ll probably pull an all nighter

My mind should never be excavated. Not everything down there's dead.

I have to ask

down there?

Me as well

Night night Bill! Hopefully your dreams aren't haunted by skirts, man buns, and knocking balls!

Ok, I think it was you @tripletfeb that mentioned making a mash yesterday with all this extra chicken food I have, but everywhere online is saying mash is a mix of things. I would like to start making it with only the mix of foods that is meant for them. Do I just add water to it and make it like an oatmeal? I would like it to be a daily "treat" that I can give them either cold or warm. Is that an acceptable daily, or should it still not be given so often, even with the lack of all other additions?

I believe everyone is right and that I am overfeeding them. As I am hoping that I have not already killed them, this feeding stops NOW. No more buggies or veggies or fruits. I made a mix of their foods and spread it out as a "treat" mixed with grit for their breakfast this morning. My cockerels never did seem all that interested in sprinkled treats, so I used mostly layer feeds for the pullets, but there's cock friendly food in there too, just in case.

I'm praying that I'm not acting too late to change their diet.

I think youre overthinking feeding a chicken.. You can add anything you want. I would not add corn though.

My lil Toasty (Oreo's girlfriend) just laid an egg! Idk if this is her first, or if she's been laying all along. But this time I know 100% that it was her!

Well this morning I went out and listened to them and my alpha cockerel is sounding weird when he breathes. So I'm not taking chances.

To make mash, just add water to the feed until it's the consistency you want. You can add warm water in the winter to help warm them up, or lots of cold water in the summer to help cool them down. And then the mash can just be used as their regular meal.

Sorry to bring up an unpleasant topic, but how many birds have you already lost?
