    Feeding Wheat to Poultry

    So do you only feed them wheat or barley and can you feed them it all year round if we have it available. I really can't find corn or millet at a cheap price and in ton bags. We have young chickens and ducks would we be able to use that to feed them.

    Also is shell grit the same as crushed up oyster shells. I was just looking at the website and saw that they sell big bags of shell grit. If you feed them the free range mix and the gamebird finish and oyster shells can you eat the animals eggs or meat.
