Homemade feed questions?

I think it is really hard (and potentially very expensive) to make a complete, homemade mix that is nutritionally complete and balanced, although I am sure it can be done for a price.  Do you have the option of organic, soy-free complete feed such as Scratch and Peck?  At least then you would have the convenience and reliability of a pre-made feed.

I would love to do Scratch and Peck. I can't get it here though. It's another thing I could get from azure standard. :(

Your question has been answered.

You asked what is healthier for your birds - that is a feed with lots of corn and soy in it, proper amino acid proportions, with a commercial vitamin premix, then pelletized so that the birds can't pick out what they like. If you can do that at home, then you can make a good homemade feed.

If you can't do that at home, then you are putting the health of your birds as second to your philosophical choices.

Thanks for your opinion.
