My layers get cracked corn only in their feeder in the coop and they free range from dawn to dusk and produce a egg every 24 hours per hen at their present age of 5 years! They do range in the goat barn and scarff up dropped alfalfa from the goat feeders plus turning the compost pile for me cleaning up any insects and/or seeds in the compost plus they range all over the pasture and woods. They only need 17% protein to maintain good egg production. Plus in a pinch I can grow the corn necessary to keep them producing.
Goatlady, corn is THE most genetically modified food crop in the United States! Where do you get your corn?
