No problem on grain-type chicken food. Lots of local sources / producers / processors. Some deliver, can hit outside of 50 lb. bag with heat gun or disinfectant if paranoid. Plus our & Mom’s scraps, and if worse comes to worse, Asian Carp.* Only problem might be “Layer Pellets” - not sure where they are processed, but, this being an agricultural area with lots of “farm stores” (Tractor Supply, Rural King, etc.), not too worried. Might not even need, really - can smash up egg shells and feed ‘em fish for protein in non-buggy seasons.
Our cat is a good mouser, even takes down a squirrel now and then. Doesn’t even eat half of what she deposits on back porch. Might want to get 6 months extra flea treatment, tho’!
*Actually Asian Carp is an excellent food source for chickens and the cat, just need time to obtain “free”. Local processor (Chinese lady!) is up to over $5 / lb. from their retail operation - too pricey! Tasty if prepared well & low contaminants for all, but have not yet tried it in a pressure cooker to cook out the annoying-to-humans numerous small bones.
Can chickens eat bass? Serious question
It isn’t the infectedness of the chicken food, it’s the just in time delivery of same.
If it simply doesn’t get delivered, like in the quarantined provinces in china, how much do you have?
