Chickens

[Kenneth Eames]

During the war we kept Rhode Island Reds in the garden and fed them on corn, veggies, and of course they ate insects. Grit has to be included in their diet. Its worth getting a good book . Buy a copy of one of the Smallholding magazines they usually have information on chickens. We used to boil a mash for them and add the corn. The mash was veggies and left-overs from the table (not much of that). I've not kept chickens since so have forgotten a great deal about it. We had six chickens and a Cockrel. Sufficient eggs during the laying season for five of us. Kenneth Eames.
