We have 40 hens, and we would only get about 24 eggs a day... Then an old timer told me he feeds his chickens a mixture of high protein dog food, cracked corn, and layer feed... He said roughly (25% of the feed is the dog food). I have dogs, so I tried it for about a week, and it seriously works. We started getting roughly 38-40 eggs a day. I was shocked! Has anyone else done this, or also feeds their chickens little dog food? I will continue to do this...

for some reason your sound is cutting in and out. Well just when u sit down to talk. I tried the audo CC but it puts words up that I'm pretty sure your not saying "the funerals of our late" weird LOL I was dissappointed really wanted to hear what you had to say. I just started with chickens have 10 hens and a rooster.
