chicken feed

runningtrails
15 years ago

I ran out of chicken feed 2 days ago. Yesterday for breakfast and dinner they got a huge mass of Basmati rice (it was the only kind I had) mixed with boiled eggs, ground up together and some celery. This morning they will get a mass of pasta and boiled egg with ground up egg shells for calcium.

Today I will get more feed. lol! We are eating some very expensive eggs these days but our chickens are loving it!

I think I will buy a huge bag of CHEAP rice to store for emergency winter chicken raitions.
