The circle invites the observer to step inside the sacredness the cross represents, like a capsule of honor. Consider some well known objects that are circles. The planets, the sun, the moon, clock faces, many kinds of seeds, wheels, coins, rings and eyes just to name a few.
Feed Per Day. On average, a laying hen will require approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of a pound of feed every day, or roughly 1.5 pounds of feed per week according to Nutrena Feeds. At this rate of consumption, every hen you have will require slightly less than 10 pounds of feed each month, regardless of whether or not she is actively producing any eggs.
As good as it is, commercial feed should not be the only thing that your hens eat. A standard-sized hen will eat between 1/4 and 1/3 pound of pellets a day, if itâs the only food offered. However, it remains essential for our backyard hens to have a varied diet beyond the pelleted ration. Greens and dirt to scratch in are key components to keeping your flock healthy.
