OUCH! SCRATCH HERE IS 8.95/ 50LB BAG. GAMEBIRD STARTER IS 14.95/ 50 LB BAG OF PURINA BRAND. LAYENA IS 13.95 / 50 LB BAG AROUND HERE....
I FEED THE CHICKENS A MIX OF ABOUT 80% LAYER CRUMBLES AND 20 % SCRATCH WITH OYSTER SHELL MIXED IN ONCE A WEEK.
THE QUAIL GET GAMEBIRD STARTER WITH A LIL SCRATCH ON TOP EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO (THEY LOVE THE GRAINS! SO ITS A NICE LIL TREAT FOR 'EM) I ALSO MIX IN OYSTER SHELL WEEKLY AND FEED THE SAME TO MY PHEASANTS.
IN ADDITION THEY ALL GET VITAMIN/ ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION IN THE WATER WEEKLY . THE LAYING QUAIL GET VIT C ADDED TO THEIR WATER EVERY OTHER DAY.
THIS IS THE BEST DIET I HAVE FOUND FOR MAXIMUM EGG PRODUCTION AND FERTILITY RATES. AS I AM IN A VERY HOT/ HUMID TROPICAL CLIMATE MY GIRLS GET HEAT STRESSED EASILY AND IT CUTS DOWN THEIR EGG PRODUCTION. IF IT ISNT AS HOT AS SATANS BEDROOM HERE THEN WE GET TORRENTIAL THUNDERSTORMS AND THAT TOO CUTS DOWN OUR EGG PRODUCTION..... THE GOOD PART IS THAT MOST OF GIRLS LAY YEAR ROUND AS OUR WINTERS ARE FAIRLY MILD--- SO I GUESS IT EVENS OUT IN THE END

I will have to try it with my cochins/silkies. They aren't laying as well as my others right now b/c of the heat.
