Please never trust an experienced chicken owner who refuses to research

any elders who “know what they’re doing” and friends of such, you can’t just feed them bullshit 😭 all animals have nutritional needs and if they’re domesticated they’re depending on the owner to fulfill them. They’re prey/flock animals and will hide their discomfort. Just because they’re alive doesn’t mean they’re well.

I was wondering why my dads hens werent laying whrn I let them out and I go to check their feed and it’s just scratch, almost empty. I’ve cooked mine some eggs and gave them the eggshells and some leftover scratch, but I’m going to have to order some actual feed on Amazon. I’m supposed to be saving up for college but every check I get is used up on bullshit like this. I get pnnies and nickels per hour like 30 hours a week and regular high school and this is just pissing me off
