Yes Black Oil Sunflower seeds. In WI a big ole 50lb bag should be $12 or $13 on sale at the grocery.
To boost the protein even further sprout them..
As far as meats and things, put the word out to friends and family when they are cleaning out their freezers to save you meats. (My chickens like ground meats..
Another angle would be to raise meal worms.
The old bread and scratch are fine, but just remember they are both low protein and take away from your feed.. I personally feel 19% protein is best, at least for my heritage breeds. So when I feed low protein snacks one day I need to give them high protein ones the next..
