Summer Months:
Laying Mash
Oats & Bread Twice daily

Winter:

Do not use Cracked corn- it’s useless.

These are good tips but don’t overlook the fact that chickens need 12-14 hours of Light per day to continue laying. If you want them to lay all winter long, simply provide them with more light. If they lay all summer with layer pellets, they’ll lay all winter with the same feed.

We do add a bit of corn and a few handfuls of 5 grain blend each day as a treat for ours.

Winter sucks for everyone, even the birds
