[CHICKENS-101] Re: Chickens pulling their feathers out

 

Hi Cathryn how much is too much sunflower seeds? As my girls & boys love them & each eve I throw a few handfulls down, thats just for 21 birds so they prob get between 10 maybe 15 seeds each, most nights sometimes I forget or don't get out before they have gone to bed. Jane & co

I did this for my girls when they quit laying regularily, & were not molting or broody. The egg laying increased now I just give them dog food about twice a week. Jane & co
