Utilize the crumble and pellet dust!!

[TOP KNOT]

I thought that I would share with you what I do with the dust/powder left over from crumbles and or pellet feed. I put it into a pail and add some water to make a mash. The chickens think they are getting a treat!! They eat every drop of it this way!! I really hate to waste it because there seems to always be that fine stuff that they ignore to eat.

That's a really good idea! Thanks for the tip. I think I'll start doing that.

Whats cool is they think you brought them a treat!!! And of course they eat it like I never feed them!!

My girls do that with just about everything. The other day I brought out some old tomatoes and they had them gone in under three minutes! I give them table scraps and old fruit and veggies all the time, and you would think they would slow down with them after a while. Nope!

Great idea. I was thinking about adding some other ingredients and baking it like a bread to give them. Glad to hear that isn't necessary.

I froze some crumble in a pie plate with some canned corn(not drained) , they pecked at it till it was gone

I have been mixing the dust with and egg and water and cooking chicken pancakes Then I just chop it into small pieces and my 10 week old ones eat it right up Uses up the crumble dust and provides extra protein Win-win
