Thank you for the info and experience with the molasses. I agree - I would prefer to not to mix my own. However, they are doing well right now with the ground oats and corn and free range. Hopefully, I can get things dialed in before winter when free range doesn't add as much. Thanks again!
Thank you for the response. I am mixing it with a organic laying feed right now to help balance it out. I also have one more option that I would like to try. I have some left over Lashahol from our pig project - it is fermented molassas with trace minerals. Manufacturer claims it is good...
Hi Everyone!
We have 15 laying hens in a fenced in backyard in town. They free range all day and go in their coop at night.
We ended up with a bunch of extra ground feed for another animal project and would like to use it for our chickens to use it up. We have about 80 bu of ground corn...
