Help appreciated - Would you mind sharing your homemade/custom chick feed?

Me and my family own many chicks as well as some keets and goslings, ranging from a few months old to as young as ~1 week. Chick and Gamebird starter is becoming scarce where we are and we need a back up option for feeding are flock or we will have to cull birds we didn't want to. Help is greatly appreciated.

Im so sorry to hear that. I am not a expert in feed whatsoever.
Its always nice to grow a garden, most of that would be just treats for the, but still good to have.

There's a whole bunch of threads on this, you can use the search tab to find. Keep it mind, it's actually fairly difficult to formulate a complete feed that's affordable.

This thread might be of interest to you. I think a lot of people are having similar issues. My feed isn't going scarce, but the price is sky rocketing tremendously.

If push comes to shove, you could fortify an all-flock crumble with nutritional yeast or fish meal. Each have about 50% protein and many of the essential amino acids. A 10:1 mix would be about right.
