I know there has been interest in soy-free feed by some BYC forum members. I feed my layer flock a 100% soy-free diet, and have had to resort to having it custom milled by the ton to make it affordable. Shipping 50 pound bags is quite expensive, as anyone who has looked into it already knows...
I realize this is an older thread but I just had a visit from the Clark County Code Commissioner regarding my coop. As it turns out, livestock housing has to be 50 ft from any property line, not the same as a shed or outbuilding setback. I have one pain in the behind neighbor who must stay up...

Sorry. Mine isn't wheat free. It's soy-free and corn free. Find a local mill that custom mixes, and try the buying co-op suggestion I mentioned earlier. You should be able to find a small mill within driving distance that will make up just what you want. Try a Google search for...

Thanks! I'm just getting started.
The feed is pricey, I know. But when you replace soy with field peas and fish meal in a 20% protein mix the price goes way up. To get "certified organic" instead of naturally grown you can double that, believe it or not. Our soy-free eggs sell...
My little ones were raised on Countryside Natural. It might take a bit for yours to get used to it if you've been feeding something else. I would definitely mix it together with what they were eating. If the CN seems bigger than your previous crumble, you could put a little in the blender and...

There has been a lot of interest in soy-free feed. As I have quite a few birds in my flock, I found a little mill that will produce a custom mix for me by the ton. If you check my website I am now offering individual 50 lb bags for sale. I can ship, or if you live in Oregon or Washington you...

I thought mine had stopped laying once, turns out they were eating their eggs! Caught them on a video camera because there was no evidence left behind otherwise. Anyway, I put more oyster shells in their morning mash, and after a few days this seemed to solve the problem.

What kind of Marans are you looking for? I have BC Marans out of Bev Davis lines, and Blue Splash Wheaten Marans also out of Davis lines. I also have a couple of Cuckoos. Mine are all between 4 and 6 months old. But I'm only parting with my roos. No hens at this time.
Darn, no...

Sorry. I don't make the feed. It comes from a mill. I just offer bags of it for sale on my website for those who don't want to purchase by the ton from a custom mill. The only specific proportion I cared about was the protein being 20%.

Sorry, I was away from the computer. Here's the ingredients:
Organic wheat, organic oats, organic barley, organic field peas, natural fishmeal, organic alfalfa, organic flax seed, natural kelp, live yeast culture (brewers yeast), natural amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
Just letting everyone know my new website is up! Anyone looking for organic soy-free feed, I buy mine custom mixed by the ton and will now be selling individual bags for those who can't purchase large lots from the mill. Website link is below.
I know there have been a few threads on this topic, and I have had many people ask me where they can get soy-free feed. I'm now selling the stuff myself since not everyone wants to buy by the ton from a mill like I do. There's Countryside Naturals, of course. I bought from them myself in the...
