12 Things You MUST Feed Your Chickens If You Want Eggs All Winter

Nine times out of ten it's what's in the feeder. In this video I go through the 12 things I'd put in front of a laying flock, from a single clove of garlic crushed into damp grain to the eggshells you were about to bin. I'll show you how to ferment a bucket of corn in three days, why calcium goes in a separate dish and never stirred into the feed, and the one mistake with vinegar in a galvanised drinker that costs people birds. Most of this I learned from my grandfather at the feed bin on this croft. Some of it I've had to learn the hard way since, and I'll tell you which is which. I also lay out the whole week as it runs here, and I'm honest about what feed can't fix: short days, the molt, and an old hen. If your nest boxes are emptier than they should be and you don't want to spend a penny more on feed, start with these.
