That's a lot of chickens!
Holy Cow that is alot of chickens is right............Snow bird how many birds are you feeding? also does the Mill you use have meat scraps and what exactly are they? like ground cooked scraps, raw scraps? Meat meal? or do you furnish your own, like in grow beef cattle as well as a million chickens hehehehe...
Love the info you have provided and will be calling our Mill today to see about implementing your recipe, though on a somewhat smaller scale, I would need only a couple hundred pounds a month I have a grower pen with 24, 14 week olds, my rooster pen with 12 boys for the freezer, and my layer pen with 19 hens and 2 roo's.......so only a total of 57 chickens till butchering time anyway. then I will separate my 2 groups into my EE, blue egg layers, pea comb pen and my mixed Layer straight comb pen, each having 2 roo's and 20 hens. I haven't kept track, but I think I must be using about 300 or 400 Lbs a month.
Do your birds free range at all? mine normally would, but I have a few loose roosters running around, so they haven't gotten out lately because they don't need to be harassed by the extra roo's, I feed garden surplus as well and still make 3 or 4 dozen scrambled eggs for em once or twice a week as a treat, my girls give me many extra eggs, and it seems everyone these days is selling eggs, so I haven't even bothered listing eggs for sale, so the chickens get them. Ty again for the recipe, now I just have to figure out how to cut it down to an amount I can feed up in a month....... Kim
