I saw a tictok video of someone making a custom chicken feed so I doctored it up a little to my liking and here is what I came up with:

1 50lb bag of layer crumble
3 large scoops of scratch grains
3 large scoops of dried meal worms

I am in the exact same predicament… too many roosters but I am attached to them all! I did what you said in one reply, separated them hens and have 1 rooster in with the hens, and the others in their own “bachelor pad”. They can still see the hens and interact with them through the fence, but it...
