Two things I would like to make you aware of
..........I put the feed ina milk bottle ...if you fill a 4pint milk carton to the top it's enough feed for four birds for four days...the pint mark if one day.........
Different chicken feed will be different size pellets and therefore will fill up your milk carton to different points. There are lots of different size and shape milk bottles/cartons.  125g is an average guide and some larger chickens and breeds will need more or less feed, in winter they will need more feed and also when they are moulting.

Give the chickens a weeks feed at a time and check it daily. Chickens will not get fat on layers mash or pellets, they only get fat on treats ie corn or meal worms.


.....Oh, didn't really want to start a new thread for this one but I was just wondering if I have cider vinegar for cooking whether I could perhaps make it into apple cider vinegar by adding apples, (cause they contain the tannin right) and then letting it ferment for a few weeks or something, then it would have the roughage in it that make the unrefined apple cider good right?....

Are you trying to get your chickens drunk? As poultrygeist says
Id go and buy some. Might be

Dont worry I am just paranoid duckie.

If I get the wrong end of the stick its because I have speed read. Honest.
