Choose a commercial pelleted diet labeled as "all flock" or "flock raiser". This is a complete diet for most chickens. For the hen, you will need to supplement calcium, especially if she is a layer. You can offer her crushed oyster shells freely. Do not use a layer diet for both. The calcium levels would be too high for the rooster leading to potential health issues for him. The website www.backyardchickens.com is an excellent resource for information regarding the husbandry and feeding of domestic chickens.

Hello. Some feed co-ops will have their own brands that they mill themselves, & there are regional graineries as well. Nutrena is a well known national brand, as is Dumor. Personally, I use Purina & Nutrena, altho in a pinch, I will pick up the brand made by a nearby grain mill. So yes, Purina is an excellent brand. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I would not feed CTC any hen feed. Rabbits should be on a 90% roughage diet of timothy hay and dark greens. The other 10% can be veggies and pellets. The roughage is very important for proper gastrointestinal function and defecation. Also roughage keeps their teeth from needing trimmed often

Thanks for reaching out about Hens. The basic thing is to establish a routine and keep to it, make all movements slow and deliberate, other distractions need to be kept minimized. Give it a few days. Good luck.
