This might help someone get a little closer to a balanced diet if they aren't going deep into nutrition. It is from notes I took from this forum several years ago. I can't give credit to who shared it, though. This from my condensed notes where I didn't necessarily keep all the references.
Lol. The Feeds section on these notes says "Strongly recommend against dabbling in assembling homemade feeds imprecise calculations, wrong or missing ingredients, and ingredients improperly prepared or stored can all result in behavioral or health problems. Nutritionally complete rations are not found in recipes in books or on internet. Poultry nutrition is complicated and there is much to it. Yes, Grandma’s flock survived. But..." ------ Which I completely agree with - I have no desire to put in the time/effort needed to do a good job if I gave up my commercial chicken feed.
