Hi everyone, been a long while. I'll keep it short and sweet
We rent a cottage on a homestead and they have chickens, we get eggs regularly.
The chickens look rather terrible and the owners are struggling to keep them into top condition as she is trying her best to have a small egg business.
What fresh veg and scraps can I give them to help boost their diet and overall condition as I feel guilty for accepting eggs from them in such condition? I frequently have lots of veg scraps, couscous, rice and Oats. I've been meaning to give them the crushed shells back but time is scarce with a 7 month old baby.
Advice please? I intend to drop off some carrots, cabbage, shells and Oats today
In regards to Oats, should it be soaked, cooked or dry?
