Bread?

Hi,

I've always given my hen's bread, I think I read sumwhere that bread can bring on
EGGBOUND is that right???

Obviously they are normal feed (mash) and left overs e.t.c but can't get this out of my head
so  thought i'd ask the question???

We have home-made wholemeal and the hens get the stale bits drizzled with water. My bread is a bit hard when it's stale!!!!

Bread is not good for hens,remember hens naturally eat grain,bugs grass etc.Ive never heard of hens getting egg bound from eating bread but sour crop is a problem due to incorrect diet like to much soft feed e.g greens, potato peelings.Give them layers pellets and mixed corn and they will be ok..
