Does anyone feed hog feed?

[CalicoFarm]

I have heard feeding hog feed to chickens a few times now. I have done a little research and it looks like the protien levels are about the same. I don't know about the rest of it. The place I get my feed from grinds there own feed so I am sure that it would be cheaper than the layer feed but I am more worried about the nutrition part of it.

We recently discovered that the feed mill around here sells hog feed in 50 pound sacks for like $6.50 a sack and it's THE SAME FEED they sell as their chicken layer for $9.50 a sack!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a good deal to me !!! I would think it is probably better feed than what they make for chickens (this is the norm for the feed industry) .

Be sure to offer free choice Oyster Shell .

Good Luck ,
