I've done some research, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information, or at least a lot of varying information.
My daughter can't eat corn, or eggs. We've heard of people who can't eat eggs or soy being able to eat soy-free fed eggs, so we're going to give it a try.
There doesn't seem to be a way to do it cheaply, but I'm thinking of mostly (~70%) rice, field peas, millet and oats, in that order, and then some worm meal and bone meal, with brewers yeast and alfalfa in the winter. How does this sound? On the spreadsheet I was coming up with about 15.5% protein, depending on who's numbers you look at (especially regarding the peas.)
I also read somewhere that the peas need to be roasted for a bit?
Any help with feed recipes is appreciated, but particularly as regards replacing corn carbs.
I should add, these guys range quite a bit on my small lot, lots of dandelion, thistle and bindweed in their area. We also give them a bit of kitchen scraps most days.
