. Yes I am mixing the whole grains that I listed myself. I don't grind in a mill, with fermenting the grain They become soft and you don't need to. It makes the protein more accessible to them to and it's really easy to do. I use nature wise organic crumbles, and that means "commercial feed" is only 1/4 of their feed and at least it's organic. I found adding the cumbles makes more of a "mash" and the girls love if like that. Mine picked at stuff til a started fermenting now it all goes down the hatch!Oh I think I understand you are using two diff grain mixes... you bought and a crumble feed? all mixed together. and like all fermented... Or is the whole grain part all put together by you??? so are there any additives? like a premix of vitamins etc.. causemost membrs on here say "balanced feed""""""""""
over and over again....
But I detest the big box store junk too much soy etc. but i hate the waste of the chickens picking out the stuff they want first...It bugs me to no end... after all the work I do. so guess will have to buy a real mill. A guy we know wont sell his old big wheel hand crank grinder one to us. WE borrowed it for a few weeks.. so nice. But he told Hubby he wanted it back.... even though he never uses it anymore and buys cracked corn now to feed the wildlife...and he has health issues.. ah well....
thanks all
