What I usually end up with is slightly heavier on the salmon, with nearly as much of some kind of whitefish, and then the occasional red snapper, flounder, or other.

Yeah, but that makes drying it out for storage even more difficult. It may be the best option, though. In the summer hopefully I'll have the time to try all these options, see what works out to be the most effective method. Another downside is I'll no longer have a ballpark estimate for the...

Another way to lower the cost even more may be to replace some of the corn with old bread. A lot of variation there, too, but again, it probably averages out. I like fish a lot, but that could be weird in the eggs. If logistically and nutritionally this all works, I might not make too large a...

Now I'm a bit confused. According to the sources I could find, fish meal has almost double the fat of the other ingredients, and that's "commercial" fish meal. I'd imagine I had considered this, but I'm not sure how much big equipment I can dedicate to this, but... ...I may have to try this...

Definitely a lot of fun to read. I'm drying it to be able get as close to the right proportions of different ingredients as I can, water content throws that off. I should also be able to make more at a time with less risk of spoilage.

That's what I was originally hoping, but I couldn't find any information averaging the values of fish-market waste (bones with flesh between them, whole heads, etc.) I could always use a bit more if there are too many bones, but I don't know how I would find that out. I could potentially use...

Thanks a bunch! I was pretty close on my numbers then. The fishmeal really would end up with a lot of variation as well, seeing as I'm grinding it myself. I would dry everything as best as I can, but I don't have a professional dehydrator or anything. I'm hoping that at least the variety of fish...

Even now, with feed and food prices rising, any way to save on the feed bill and still get high quality eggs is welcome. I think I have a pretty good formula that I'd like to try, maybe as a supplement to commercial feed, but from the math I could plug in it looks like this should have a good...

Chickens make great compost "eaters" ala EdibleAcres, Karl Hammer, etc. I have yet to find evidence that quail can thrive on such a lifestyle. I do however hope to conduct some experiments and post how it goes.
