I don't buy cheap cat food unless that's what my clients want me to feed their cats whilst they're boarding. I always try to encourage them to put them onto a better diet. My own cats would leave most of the cheap foods, making them a more expensive option than the expensive ones they do eat. My primary concern with the hens and the cat food (wet only), which they love, is whether or not it would put a strain on their kidneys. However, my current oldest hen is 10, and the next one down is 7, so I don't think I am necessarily doing anything wrong. Otherwise I feed layer's, or grower's pellets, depending on age, plus fruit, veg and some mixed corn as a treat. They are free ranging on grass in part of my garden throughout the day, so they get that as well plus clover, weeds etc.
I am sorry if I emailed all this once already, I started to comment on the cat food yesterday and then outlook crashed so I assumed the email didn't get sent.

the whole reason soy/cat food was mentioned was about a meat protein from cat food (it is Bad when one feeds cat food thinking they are getting all that good fish&meat meal when in fact all they are getting from the cheap cat food is Soy .............. anyhow if one need's it they can get their fix on soy from their regular chicken pellets (they are probably allready feeding).
