I know a guy who works for Ace Hardware. People are getting into raising Chickens in large numbers. They're in there every day buying stuff to get set up. Meanwhile, I see the big white 60 egg cartons at Wally's has come down from 20 bucks to about 12. The store bought feed is still an issue. I like this guy. His birds look as healthy and happy as they get.
we do local feed&seed 22% laying protein pellets & cracked corn & have been avg’ing 9 eggs/day all thru the winter ... we also dump table scraps, bread, veggies, etc ... 3 hens are 5-6 yo, 12 hens 1 yo, and 1 rooster

We have 60... i feed them as many table scraps as i can.
Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching - even when doing the wrong thing is legal. Aldo Leopold .. (except when it comes to trailer tags)
Start yourself a compost pile and add earthworms to it. Give it a couple flips with a shovel and watch the fight for worms begin. After a while, they will learn to dig them up.
