Chicken Food

       As shown in the video, there are a few different type of chicken food. The biggest two are the dry feed and fresh food.     The dry feed is the stuff you buy at the store that comes in huge bags. That is all the stuff your chickens  need. You put it in a feeder so your chicken can easily eat it. There are different kinds of feed for different purposes of chickens. Chicks need Chick Feed. Egg hens will need Layer's Pellets. Meat chickens will need a high protein feed. Find what works for you and your chickens.      I would recommend hanging the feeder or at the very least raising it off the ground. Chickens like to perch on the top on the feeder, which causes them to poop in it and get it dirty. It doesn't usually help them to perch on the feeder. Different feeders can change things. The feeder in the video is metal and has an open top. Some feeder are plastic and some have a closed top. The same with water dishes. Explore and find what works for you.     Now fresh food.
