I've been looking into a whole-grain diet for my chickens and found this local mill that mixes pigeon food:

Royal Super Race 17%
Ingredients: whole corn, winter red wheat, Canadian peas, milo, kafir, maple peas, Austrian peas, safflower, vetch, rice, vitamins
Royal Racing 16%
Ingredients: milo, popcorn, winter red wheat, oat groats, safflower, barley, various peas, vitamins
Royal Pigeon Low Carb 16% (no corn)
Ingredients: wheat, milo, peas, safflower, oat groats, paddy rice, white milo, vetch, vitamins
Looking at the ingredients above, is there any reason why I couldn't feed one of these mixes to my chickens? They have the same protein content as other chicken feed I've found, just not as much fat as most of them.
