Does anyone know?

Does anyone have good recipes for homemade chick starter and layer/range feed?

What would you consider a good recipe? Not being snarky, just need to know what you don't want in the recipe.

No, I understand and it is a good question. Basically one that is fairly balanced. Organic isn't a concern. My birds are free range and I usually buy premixed to supplement their food, but it is getting hard to find feed that isn't medicated. So if someone could point me in the direction of some options I would be grateful.

I started looking into this a while back and saved a bunch of links but never did anything with it. I don't know if any of them are good or not because I got too busy to experiment but here are some feed/snack/herbal recipes as a place to start your research:
