Best wat to fatten up chickens

So you're giving them twice the scratch as layer crumble? There's your problem. Scratch isn't feed, it's more of a treat. It is very low in overall nutrition. The poster above said no more than 10% scratch and you're giving them 200% scratch.

It would be 50% Scratch not 200%.

Ah, you are correct. I misread his post and thought he was mixing 2 scoops of scratch for every 1 scoop of layer food.

Look into fermentation and sprouting. Nutrition available in the grain goes sky high
