Dive Bar #19 - How To Calculate Your Flock's Feed Needs

Deciding what and how to feed your chickens can be overwhelming. Their age, your flock's goals, your values in terms of ethical and sustainable feed production, and the current environment all play a role in determining the best nutrition practices for your flock.

Today, we're going to discuss how to decide what will work best for your farm, how to calculate your flock's feed needs at every stage/age, and how you can take the stress and guesswork out of keeping your egg layers happy and healthy while saving money on your feed bill.
