    Why does this all flock feed from tractor supply say it's only for adult birds?

    The nutritional analysis seems pretty much the same as most 20% protein starter feeds, when you compare protein, fat, fiber, and calcium. We didn't read the bit about "adult hens only" when we first bought it, just glanced at the nutritional analysis. Is this going to be bad for our birds in...

    Another homemade recipe attempt...

    I am gearing up to try homemade food. I am attempting to lower my costs. We use 200 lbs of feed per month, so I think I can buy ingredients in bulk. Here is my first attempt, below. I have been buying organic corn-free, soy-free whole grain food from Scratch & Peck. I have this spreadsheet...

    Organic Feed Issues

    Hi. I am brand new to BackYard Chickens but am just wondering if anyone has had any issues feeding their ducks organic feed? We recently lost a duck due to an enlarged heart. The vet mentioned it could be genetic but then went into a long spiel about how ducks raised on organic feed...

    Do I supplement with treats or not?

    I have had chickens for about 9 years now and it is an ongoing and continuos learning experience for me. There is no shortage of advice by "experts". But in reality, most of what I have learned about chickens, my chickens have taught me. My flock consists of 8 large breed mixed chickens...

    Do I Really Need Expensive, Organic, Non-GMO Feed?

    I have a flock of six pullets, age 4-8 months. A buff Ameracauna, a splash Ameracauna, a black Ameracauna, an Olive Egger, a Silkie and a huge Cochin. I have been feeding them Purina crumbles but I know that many BYC members feed something like Scratch & Peck’s organic, non-GMO, corn-free feed...
