Feeding Help!!!

[Chris09]

Will the golden layer feed help health and plumage and can roosters still eat it??

As long as your not going to be feeding rooster you will be fine. (too much calcium for roosters)

If you are feeding rooster also you would be better feeding Buckeye Big 4. (IMO it is the best all flock feed that you can get and works great as a show feed)

The 40% Concentrate is good, but you will have to grind any corn, oats, and other grains to a mash since the concentrate is a mash. (you cant feed the concentrate by itself) The Big 4 will just fine for your hens, you will have to offer Oyster Shells on the side.

Any place that has Buckeye Feed should have it or can get it.
