Layers and 10 week olds... not sure what to feed them - Page 2

I can get game bird feed by country lane (it's what I was feeding the ducks), for around the same cost.  It's 22% protein, is that too much?

P.S.  Visit my blog!  My life in small sky country (like big sky country, only smaller )

Having that many chickens and the ducks, you could do a "blend."

If'n you wanted to.

. . . just my 2¢ wink.

Dont know where you heard this from about the bread. Yeast is used to make bread rise before cooking. After that it is spent in the cooking process and no longer an active agent. I eat it and my throat doesnt swell. I have been giving my flock left over stale bread as one of their treats with no problems. I wish you had some data to back that up.Sorry I dont agree.  Difference of opinion I guess. Dont know about avacodos.
