    Official BYC Poll - Which aspect of keeping chickens do you enjoy the most?

    I love the way they all run to the gate when they see me coming to let them out to free range. What fun to watch them flit about the yard then make a mad dash for the coop when it starts getting dark...they are just funny and who doesn't like a good laugh everyday?!?!

    newbie with 50 lb bag 15% protien layer pellets.

    The fish pellet thing was a bust . The guy didnt understand calculating the % when you add all factors. So I left with 24% Stater crumbles . If Im doing the math right , I will mix 20 lbs of 15% to 25 lbs of 24% which should put me at or near 20% Right?

    newbie with 50 lb bag 15% protien layer pellets.

    Thank you!! That was my concern as well (pulling it down) bc they get the pellets, oat and corn scratch along with scraps of fruit and veggies and 15% is cutting it close to begin with. They are 2 yrs old and I recently adopted them. I think they were only getting oats and a scratch mix plus...
