Scratch is a mix of grains with either corn or peas (my birds prefer the corn option). In addition to scratch, you can feed your hens layer pellets which will promote egg production. The closest feed store to Vancouver is probably Roddicks (http://www.roddickfeedandfarm.com/feed.htm) in Ladner. They are very knowledgeable and will let you know what else you need (a small bag of oyster shell and of grit would be recommended).

I need more scratch. Anyone need anything from the feed store?

Ducks aren't allowed although I don't see why not. They are friendlier, can produce just as well as chickens and don't make as much noise.

How bout ducks? I've been thinking duck for their excellent slug eat abilities.
