I have a similar mixture: barley, oats, BOSS, scratch grains and I use catfish feed for the protein booster. The only place I could find the soybean meal was super expensive and didn't go over too well. For my older turkeys, I will stir in a half scoop of wild game crumbles before taking it...

I tend to alternate with mail ordering and incubating. I did a chart way back when, with all the nutritional values, and it was good. Protein was an issue until I found the catfish food.

64 total. Some of the young cockerels won't be staying. The 8 months are laying some. They're doing a light molt themselves, so some days I'll get 6-7 and others nothing. They're all EE's and the only bunch I don't let free range. I've lost more EE's to hawks and to them flying over the...

No, no increase in egg production. They're all in molt now, so out of 20 grown hens, we got 1 egg yesterday. I'm not convinced that cayenne pepper actually does anything for egg production. Could all be just coincidence. I have 20 hens aged 1-7 years, plus 4 roosters, 14 8 month old pullets...

For what it's worth, you don't have to use up your FF every few days. I mix mine in a 35 gallon feed drum and it's been going for over 3 years now. My hen only get fed in the mornings. If there's feed left in the troughs at the end of the day, we make sure to give them less the next day (mix...

The white bucket is for draining. When I add catfish food sometimes, it makes the feed to slushy, so we put feed in the white bucket (has rows of holes on the bottom) and let it drain while we go feed the horses. I usually fill up one 8 quart Fortiflex bucket (the purple one on the neighboring...

Just wanted to show my set up. I've got 50+ hens, so we need feed in bulk. I started this can about 2 years ago - just add more grains and water when it gets low and stir. The hens just get fed in the morning before they get turned out in the horse pens.

Quote: 1. Yes 2. About 1 1/2 years 3. I use a large rubber feed can. Filled about halfway with the feeds, covered in water. Feed in the morning - stir, scoop, feed. Every couple of days, we add more feed and more water. Haven't changed anything since we started other than getting off the...

Yeah - that's my sticking point - I don't know how to add up all the ingredients and come up with a portion size nutritional info. (nothing "horrors" about it, just lack of knowledge) That feedipedia is nice, but I am limited with what I can get in this area. 9 feed stores, and I can't find...

Guess I'm missing something, but I don't see anyplace on that site to plug in a recipe and get nutritional information back.

Anyone know of a site/place I can plug in ingredients and get a total nutrition breakdown? I'm trying to tweak my recipe, but need to know how much of what to put in to get what I need.

I would love to add more items to my mix - but finding anything around her other than oats is difficult. I could only find one store that had barley. Why don't you like soybeans?

I read the labels on the feed bags. What would you suggest adding? My hens have been doing pretty well on this mix.

Averages out to 16% without the fish food and 23% with - pretty much the same as layer feed. Plus, it's only a portion of their diet. They spend most of the day out in the pens eating bugs and stuff. What protein level do you use?

I feed once a day - mornings. I've got about 50 chickens and several troughs. There is usually a little left in the troughs when I get home at 4 pm, but by the time the chickens get put up at dusk, they're usually pecked clean. The hens spend the day in my horse pens. I've been mixing 50lb...
