Re: [CHICKENS-101] chick feed

 

.
Does anyone do fodder feeding for their chickens? I just got 70 chicks today and am hoping to get the fodder started very soon. I have been reading up on it and read that even the little chicks can eat it and do well. Cutting it up smaller and using smaller seeds would seem to be the way to go for the tiny chicks
Eventually they will pasture behind the cattle in rotation in the summer. Then in the fall, most of the roosters will go to freezer camp or be sold as pure bred roosters. Keepers will winter in the barn and covered chicken yard and be fed mostly fodder, crushed egg shells, possible worms and grit.
