Raising Chickens - What Chicken Likes to Eat
How to take care of chickens? For feeding laying hens the best thing to feed them is to all purpose 60% lay mash. This theory is 60% lay pellets. These are pellets that's not the mash. I prefer to lay pellets cause i feel there is a less waste with the pellets as there is with the mash. It doesn't blow away in the wind and the hens can scratch through this and go over all the place and it is still maintain the ability to be eaten. 16% protein is the level that you need to maintain a good healthy skin coat and also the eggs ductivity of your hands. It's just an good all around feed. You can also buy 20% lay pellets the protein percentage is upto 20% in some grams and you could use that to make it with house holds leftovers, long clippings even. You can feed chickens of variety of different foods and you can add 20% lay pellets in which will bring your overall diet for your hens it says about 60% which will maintain integrity and the house of your hens they will maintain their egg laying abilities for you. So there is lots of chicken do with the feed to maintain your levels of protein that hens maintain a good health. One thing that you also want to add into it is would be oyster shelf for extra calcium. Oyster shelf extra calcium helps to maintain the strength of the eggs shells in the hand also brockley trimmings brockley leaves just about any type of garden we have to use it is also high in calcium and that could be added in. Also when you bring in your eggs in the house and you using your eggs you can save your eggs shell. I suggest that you bake them a little bit first. Two reasons one that gets rid of fresh eggs smell and that way hens won't be temped to eat their own eggs once they start laying eggs thus you don't want them to start cannibalising their eggs. So if you are feeding them shells back to the hens which is ok. You do need to cook them a little bit first to change the sand so that it no longer smell like fresh eggs. This will help to give your hands back the calcium that you have used to lay eggs prior to that and also give you something to do with all the egg shells that you are using out.
