Update: I heard a guy at the feed store say you should never give chickens kitchen scraps
He said it would make them picky and stop eating their feed. I've been giving my Rhode Island Reds leftover greens and grains for three years and they still clean their feeder every day. Has anyone else had a flock that handles both just fine?

My flock gets scraps every other day and they still go crazy for their layer pellets. That guy at the feed store is full of it.

Yeah feed store guys always have opinions. Chickens know what they need.

Wait, hang on. Did you say scraps every other day AND they still hammer layer pellets? That is wild. My birds would straight up boycott the pellets if they knew scraps were coming the next day. Mine act like I'm starving them if I miss one single morning of kitchen leftovers. How did you train them to be so polite? I'm jealous.
