and for those playing the home game, a reminder.
There is no "one right way" / There are plenty of wrong ways. The trick is to find the way that works best for you, in your circumstances, with your budget, conditions, management.
I post [frequently] about the "optimum" way to feed one's birds to improve chances at long term health. I DO NOT FEED MY OWN BIRDS THE WAY I GENERALLY RECOMMEND.
Why? Because my management is different than most. I'm raising dual purpose birds -Hens for eggs, Roos for eating. my birds get lives between 12 weeks and about 3 years. That's different purpose and different timescale than Bob or Becky with a handful of pretty birds in a backyard enclosure kept as pets. I also free range, with the birds using 5-8 acres whose nutriton varies seasonally and can only be guessed at.
So if you read one of my posts to suggest it "the only way" - No. Its a good starting point, from which you can do a cost and risk assessment.
