I used fermented feed for awhile and have debated about going back to it. Perhaps in the summer, but truthfully it SMELLS HORRIFIC and im not sure how id keep it from freezing in winter. I cant really tell you how to make chicken feed from scratch, but im really good with human food. Im 5 years cancer free this upcoming February, so ive completely changed how i eat. My birds eat a lot of my leftovers, so that intake is super healthy, and get my garden scraps. Right now they eat the mash from my local co-op. Lots of soy, and ive been wanting to change their diet like i said, but thinking come spring ill hunt for local, non gmo, soy free food stuff.

I think a good, quality feed is all our fowl need. Of course, supplementing with healthy human food is good too, in moderation. I feed Purina Layena, Purina Scratch Grains, and fresh greens on the side to my layers. They're very healthy and give me beautiful eggs in return. I'm also feeding Purina Chick Starter to my babies, and they're growing like weeds, and healthy as horses! In other words, I trust Purina products. It's what I've always fed my dogs, and my previous Dobbie lived to the ripe old age of 14...  well beyond the average lifespan. 

I want to congratulate your victory in your battle against cancer!      I hope there will be a cure for this monster disease in the near future..

congrats on being cancer free I watch many family members go through it and it's not easy you must be very strong. I'm not sure how many chickens you have or haw much you free range your chickens I try to free range mine as much as possible to cut down feed but you could always do a few glass gallon jars on your counter or in a cabinet n put a lid but not tight so it still gets air and you wouldn't smell it as much if I have the mix last three days or more in the house I can really smell it so I keep it small and only save enough to keep the cultures going no one can tell when they visit my house that I have it in the kitchen
