Yep. That’s a good start. But ask what the feed their flock. Chances are they are feeding them the cheapest crap from Tractor supply. Mine get “soy free, corn free, 16% Layer mash” 100% USDA Organic. They don’t get “treats” or table scraps. Right now, my feed cost are calculated at $2.96 per dozen. That’s feeding 33 chickens (26 laying hens, 5 pullets, 2 roosters)

Why not? I'm sure meat/veg leftovers and cutting scrap would do good for them. When I prep food for myself I save the cut meat/veg ends and cook them separately(without spices) for the dogs.

I’m sure your “dog” loves that. But since I’m referencing chickens....I can’t think of a normal scenario where a chicken would have have access to cooked meat/veg. They are jungle birds. I will, when the situation arises, throw them freshly dead small animals (mice, squirrel, rabbit) that they go crazy for. In the winter I will sometimes. supplement with black oil sunflower seeds.
