“A topic of discussion I see frequently on online discussion boards is how much organic feed to provide foraging poultry. All feeds such as starter, layer, etc. are considered complete feeds, meaning it contains all the nutrients the chicken needs. This introduces the question, why let chickens free-range and how does this impact their growth or egg production?
I contacted Jo Robinson, an industry expert on livestock nutrition and author of many books including “Pasture Perfect” and “Why Grassfed is Best”. She shared with me some terrific tips on why grass-feeding is important and how to balance that with feed rations for your backyard poultry.”
