We had a Barred Rock who was the pet and she lived until 9.5 years old. She never had a protein issue, as we always fed extra animal protein every day to the entire flock.
Your Wilma has very lovely coloring, love the lacing!

What did you use for extra animal protein? I've been putting dried meal worms in with the feed.
My husband is an avid deepsea fisherman and loves catching pollock. We don't like pollock, but the hens do! So he gets to catch all the pollock he can, and we grind it raw, package it in daily allotments (1/4 oz/bird/day) which for our flock of 18 is 4 1/2 oz/day. We feed it every day, in the morning.
He's actually going out tomorrow to start on our fish for the coming year.
Again, I have no idea how you do all you do. Thank you! I'll buy some nice fish for them and do the same.
