What Feed Can I Use For: Chickens, Ducks, Geese, And Turkeys?
I am getting all poultry listed above and I want just one type of feed to give to all. I want to maintain all nutrients necessary for egg production(especially chickens) with out any other supplements, like oyster shells.
Just because they are birds, doesn’t mean you can feed them all the same thing. They have VERY different digestive systems, and very different nutrional requirments.
If you want chickens to lay eggs, you’re going to have to give them a more nutritional diet. I would highly suggest any FRESH greens, not table scraps. Remember, you’re eating what they’re eating, essentially. For layers, their bodies are going to demand higher levels of calcium, proteins, and fats. You need a layer diet or a good broiler feed to support that extra demand on their bodies.
DO NOT feed game birds bread. You can actually kill them this way. The bread fills up their stomachs and has NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE FOR BIRDS!! It’d be like you eating candy all day and wondering why you’re getting sick.
I suggest doing more research on the particular birds you’re getting. If you can’t afford the right diets, you probably shouldn’t be getting all those animals. They shoudln’t suffer because you’re feeling cheap.
Hello
The rule of thumb for chickens is that you can feed them all scraps etc. meat or non meat apart from their own species. They all will eat bread which you soften with water for chickens.
So your food scraps are fine especially vegetables but all vegetable peelings are excellent and they will eat bruised fruit etc.
they will all eat rolled barley or rolled oats and layers pellets the layers pellets will work on all of them
Dont feed your chickens meat and scraps because its bad for them. Give them chicken feed or organic chicken feed. As for you other birds idk what food you should feed them. Bread maybe?
