Interesting Question about chooks

[Tarrel]

Great idea Devonian, I'll try that for ours.

Don't underestimate the amount of land required for a chicken to free-range without any supplementary feed input. It's a lot more than your average garden.

At the moment it is illegal under DEFRA regulations to feed chickens anything that has passed through your domestic kitchen (e.g. food scraps). We feed ours proprietary Layers' Pellets, although they have 600 sq metres of woodland floor to roam over, which we move every month or so. However, post-SHTF, they'll be getting stuff from the kitchen, make no mistake!
