They live in an old dog kennel (a VERY large one, that was home built for 2 very large dogs)<BR/>Its down behind our garage/shed and they have lots of space behind there, though now they just free range all day long.<BR/><BR/>Because they free range they need a little less food given to them (or so i have read) I feed them laying pellets which are always on offer (not that they eat much of them!) and then I feed them lots of scraps. Their fav food wihtout doubt is corn! But they seriously eat almost anything (there are some foods not to give them, like avocado peel, potatoe skins) they love my kids left over cereal in the mornings, at night the scraps all get popped on one plate and they get that, duirng the day they might get stale bread etc. My neighbour today bought 2 boxes of cereal over that had gone stale so that will be included in their food this week. They eat meat scraps also and I cruch their egg shells up and feed them back to them too!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457013352469491837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231500483140964334.post-29875905733543617552007-12-19T06:24:00.000+11:002007-12-19T06:24:00.000+11:00They are beautiful girls.

Yes, they always want more food - esp. if it's a favourite (mine are pretty sick of bread, though they still eat it). I have 6 chooks and get 5-6 eggs a day. They are just over a year old and get plenty of food scraps. Enjoy your girls. They do make great pets (plus great eggs).<BR/><BR/>Libbylibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306878370572439115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231500483140964334.post-33543364230701809882007-12-19T02:12:00.000+11:002007-12-19T02:12:00.000+11:00Do you just have the two chickens?
