So, long story short, I put some goat feed, its 16% protein all purpose goat rations, associated feeds, into a bowl inside the chicken coop so our ND baby can eat in peace away from the big goats and dogs.... so he hates the rain and is curled up in a nest box... chickens ran to the feed.... Any reason its bad for the chickens getting into it is about a cup of feed pellets, and grains and alittle molasses....
