If you ferment it, it will go further, too. :)Bulldogmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773653470602929019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934326041423690709.post-3683234132043954772018-04-09T10:16:31.064-04:002018-04-09T10:16:31.064-04:00I did not see how many chickens your recipe feeds ...I did not see how many chickens your recipe feeds per day. Sorry if I missed it. The last 2 bags of organic layer feed I bought from Southern States co-op (New Country Organics) looks off to me. I call the company and gave them the lot # and was told it was fresh. The had used golden split peas instead of green. Even with that info, it just does not look right. I am considering making my own, but money is a huge factor. I have 21 hens, so try to figure out if I can do it.

Depending on what is available in your area there may be some good ways to replace the corn with other healthy grains. Raw meats are also wonderful for the chickens if it is feasible for you to provide it for them. Plenty of protein without the carbs/sugars of corn.<br /><br />If you want to try mixing your own feed, also check out <a href="http://naturalchickenkeeping.blogspot.com/2013/01/mixing-poultry-feed-for-your-health.html" rel="nofollow">This Link</a> for some ideas of where to find what you are looking for.<br /><br />Wishing you a super day!<br />LeighBulldogmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773653470602929019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934326041423690709.post-42963036688915664882013-04-11T06:54:06.090-04:002013-04-11T06:54:06.090-04:00You certainly made this sound easier than some art...You certainly made this sound easier than some articles I've read. I am debating mixing my own. Not quite there yet tho. <br /><br />I worry about too much corn which can put weight on hens. Also the GMOs since I might as well just feed regular feed if I can't escape them! <br /><br />I think the oats have to be limited since htey are very low in protein? That's the only explanation I can think of. I use them to cut the protein in my duckling feed.
