i feed my chickens chicken feed in the morning when they come out of their coops, they free range ll over the place during the day. They ave discovered my compost heap lately and like to ig in there as well. my first chickens ever were last year, i had 10, there are 3 left, 2 hens and one rooster. the gals have bald spots on their sides and my rooster has had bald patches all summer, and his wing tip feathers are a bit rough and worn. I suspect too much nooky. He is getting a bit agressive, I just pick hm up for a bit and he calms down. I call the chicken feed chicken crack cause they sure know what it is and where it is stored. the new atch of 17 chicks will be out with the others full time in about a week or 2, still a bit worried about violence... lol..I over fed my first bunch by a lot it appears, these new ones are getting a more proper amout of feed. I hope to get em just free ranging at some point. maybe, i hope ..lol
