The original post is a little old, but the only thing the hens would need is a complete feed. It looks like to me that you are feeding 2 separate feeds? You can narrow that down to 1. Anything other than feed is considered treats and that should be 10% or less of what they would eat of their feed. Otherwise, it throws off their nutrition since they won't need to eat as much feed.I saw Becky's youtube as well. I'm a new chicken owner and after listening to her, it seemed limiting my chickens to bread, layer crumbs, and corn just didn't seem right to me. Just a gut feeling. I went with a vegetable layer feed and add some layer crumbs in the mix - but I'm wondering if I even need the layer crumbs. However, I do give a handful of whole corn, half piece of bread, and meal worms for snacks on occasion.
