Many people have asked what I feed my chickens. This is what I do…

These are the 5 feeds I use. My chickens have food access 24/7 in the grandpa feeders. I put the layer crumble or flock maker in those on rotation. The other kalmbach feeds I mix with the Nutrena to make “Mush” every other day or every day if I have time.

Vitamins- I use Hen Helper & Catalyst in their water every other watering. I order these from South Land Organics.

Snacks- They do get a few hand fulls of BFL maybe 1-2 times a week, if I have some. They think their “mush” is the best treat ever so that’s what they get.

Side note- I do NOT feed scratch. Scratch is a fillers/potato chips for chickens with no real value so I don’t waste my money.

My toxic trait is having 20 pairs of shoes outside the back door because I stepped in chicken s**t. 🙄😒😂

Who doesn’t just LOVE the speckles and banding on Silverudd eggs! The peach/pink with purple speckles under a heavy bloom is what my Turken (naked neck) lays. She may be “ugly” to some, but her eggs are AMAZING!💕

My yard helpers for the day. 🙄🤣

When I tell people I have the nicest roosters & hens I really do mean it. They are literally out there with me all day doing yard work. All kinds of random ass things around them and they just act like nothing is going on. W**d eating, mowing, tilling, pressure washing, raking, digging, burn piles, cleaning the pool, vacuuming the pool, all colors of shoes, boots, pants, shirts, hoodies, robes, dogs, cats, kids, adults, strangers, all kinds of random things being carried around the yard…. This just goes to show you that you don’t have to tippy toe around your Roos. Live your life like normal and they will too!

Each day I open a different pen to backyard for so they can run around and be with me while I’m out there doing things. Today I had my grow out pen open. There are 4 rooster in that pen and not a single one has a mean bone in their body. I learned after my very first rooster had it out for me that temperament is not something I will compromise on ever again.

If your Roo(s) can’t adjust to your lifestyle and they are attacking you and/or your family that roo needs to go. There a soooooo many nice roosters out there that are on the chopping block just because someone has too many, give a nice one a chance and get rid of the mean one, trust me it’s totally worth it.
