    Is this feed recipe healthy?

    Strongly suggest you look up Joel Salatin. Most of his stuff is behind a paywall, but there is plenty freee to read on what he does, and why he does it.

    Is this good feed?

    @Perris has a good method, rather than a specific recipe. For "make at home" recipes, you could do much worse than using one of Joel Salatin's recipes.

    Chicken feed formula

    I'll help. SEE THIS POST Now I'll help some more. First, don't use Salatin's recipes unless you are also using his methods. Its a System, they work together. Second, you could also consider Justin Rhodes' recipes. You can find that here. Or google it - unlike Salatin, he has a lot less...

    Need help with a cheap chicken run for 5 chickens

    Closest I can get is, essentially, a Salatin-style chicken "tractor", 8' x 8' x 4' using this (or equivalent) in 8' foot sections, 1x each wall, 2x for the roof, and using the rest of the budget for 2x4x8 PT lumber for the frame. 4 for the bottom square, 4 for the top square, 3for the walls, 3...

    Is this feed recipe healthy?

    That's Joel Salatin's recipe. Its a good one. Though it works best with his system. and No, you can't swap field peas for soybeans. Defatted Sunflower meal is closer. I'd have to look up how close.

    Does anyone have a good chicken feed spreadsheet they will please share?

    My opinion, and its not strongly held, but my opinion is that unless you know more than I do, you shouldn't use Salatin's feeds without also using his methods. That's a conservative opinion because I haven't looked real closely into his recipe to see what he's counting on his tractors for. In...

    ...use by lots of people with satisfactory results - its not just theory. and if you are still passionate about it? Look up a guy named Joel Salatin. He has a recipe or two as well. He also has a Method. His recipe works with his method as part of a cohesive management practice. When you...

    Thoughts on organic chicken feed. What is your opinion?

    ...website as they did. Joel also has a system, and if you use his recipe without his system, you invite other problems. here, I'll help - Salatin's broiler recipe: 52% corn — For carbohydrates 29% roasted soybeans — For protein 11% crimped oats — These are a source of protein and carbs, but...

    Free rein feeding method

    ...Shrimp Meal, Crab Meal, Insect Protein Meals, Porcine Blood Meal, etc in a modern feed, they are serving essentially the same purpose. Joel Salatin's make at home recipe (which really needs to be used with his pasture system) is one of the few good make at home recipes - it relies on fish...

    Natural feed?

    Salatin feeds his birds. Roughly 5 parts corn, 3 parts soy, 1 part oats. The rest is calcium, fish and or kelp meal, fertrell's nutribalancer, allegedly a prebiotic. Then he supplements by tractoring - which is like free ranging a very small protected field of known content.

    Homemade chicken food

    Yes, I've not made an extensive search, just based on what others have brought to this forum and asked about, but of the ones I've seen (caveat caveat caveat) only J Rhodes gives decent numbers out of a feed calculator, and has the further benefit of actually being used by more than one person...

    new research debunks trad views on nutrition

    ...of your ingredient labels and vary too much in agricultural products to rely comfortably on averages. Even the good "At home" recipes, like Salatin's, call for Fish Meal ($2/lb) AND use Fertrell's or a product like it. Those two ingredients alone - less than 7% of the total feed recipe...

    ...0.3*, Lys 0.6, Thre 0.5, Tryp 0.2 And any feed between 12 and 14 MJ/kg is typical range - above or below that is special purpose only /edit Salatin pushes not a feed, but a system. You can't use his feed without using the whole system, or it too falls apart - and it is heavily dependent...

    GMO soy and corn in chicken feed? Discussion

    I like Salatin too. Having said that, consider the resources he uses for his level of production. If we took that world-wide (ignoring, for just a moment, how little land is suited for his production methods), what population could we support??? and let's not forget the first world...

    Natural feed?

    yes, and follows with pigs, after the chickens, I believe. Anyhow, I pulled my receipt from 04/04. I paid $12.10 / 50# for 16% Protein Layer Feed from Harrell Milling Company. I paid $14.15 / 50# for the 24% Protein "Game Bird Grower" from the same. As those who follow my threads know, I...

    Freedom Rangers 16-18 week dressed weights?

    Starting to reconsider my choice not to bring some Rangers in - Yes, I've a culling project, not a breeding project, but if they've come that far.... Hard to say no. I'd stick with current management - free range all day, and a good feeding by me in the evening.
