I've been raising chicken for 3 years now, i have bard rock, polish, silkie... etc. I always feed them 70% corn and wheat, and 30% egg layer feed. And the egg production is acceptable.
I recently moved them to my friend's farm, he isn't as professional about his work, sometimes he feeds 50% wheat, 50% egg layer feed, sometimes 100% wheat, and other times 100% egg layer feed, so far egg production is the same but i know this isn't good for their health.
Now to the main point, a friend of mine who owns a pet shop and has a lot of information about chicken informed me that wheat actually effects egg production badly and that i should focus on egg layer feed, what do you guys think? Does anyone know about this?
