    greenhouse performance?

    What do you feed your layers?

    To be honest his formula didn't work on my first feed ration either. His formula stated that 75 lb of a 17% layer and 25 lb of a 28% game bird feed was 20.67% when it is actually 19.75. It was off by .92%.

    What do you feed your layers?

    But your percentage isn't exact. Your percentage is around .91% off and could add up (as below) when you add more ingredients. Example -- If we use, layer 17% - 74 lb corn 8.8% - 1 lb game bird 28% - 25 lbs Your math gives a 17.93% It's actually 19.66% A 1.73 difference.

    What do you feed your layers?

    I feed Kalmbach's Non-GMO feed. Most of the year I feed a blend of there 17% Non-GMO layer and there 28% Non-GMO start right turkey and gamebird at the rate of 75% layer to 25% gamebird. That mix will get me a little over 19% feed. In the winter months, I bump the gamebird some to increase the...

    Organic non gmo feed

    Disclaimer -- I am not 100% Organic but I am 100% Non-GMO. I've used Kalmbach feeds for probably 16/18 years now and switched to their Non-Gmo and Organic Feeds about 8 years ago with no regrets. If you're looking for a good Organic feed, go with Kalmbach.

    Hi, hubby asked me what this chicken is. I'm like, "I dunno; but I know where to go". What do you think she is, please?

    Breeder Quality, Show Quality which are bred to a breed standard. Hatcheries don't really breed to a standard, so you end up with incorrect colors, patterns, body types and overall smaller body size.
