Good to know, thank you for your help.

Our local Orschelens store which is a farm type store just started selling a non gmo chicken feed. It's 29.99 for 30lbs. So basically it's double the money of a commercial feed and 10lbs. Less. Once I figure out a mixture I can see if what I'm doing is any cheaper. I sure hope so.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I can get Barley, but I haven't seen any field peas available. I'll keep checking. The weather has turned to the 60's here and the bugs are really coming out. The chickens are chasing them all day.

Lol, fermented feed was brought up by someone else. If you read the original post it has nothing to do with that. Thanks

I was just going to mention trying a fermentation lock. You beat me to it. Looks like a great idea that I'm going to have to try. Thanks!

Ok, I was just looking for a good ratio to mix what I stated I have available per 50lbs. There is tons of clover and many legumes they are able to freely eat while free ranging our property. I do see them getting worms fairly often. I know people who in the spring and summer almost feed nothing...

I understood that black oil sunflower seed was around 26% protein and Safflower was around 18%. They also free range wherever they like on our 10 acres.

Hello, I am curious if anyone can help figure out a good mixture/ratio of the grains I have available for chicken feed. I'm looking for a mixture for 50lbs worth. I have Black oil sunflower seed, safflower seed, whole cleaned oats, milo, and white millet. I do not want to add corn or soy...
