Right now my feed is 1 part flax seeds, 4 1/2 parts starter/grower and 4 1/2 parts rolled oats. The flax is about 25% protein, starter/grower 18% and oats about 12% - so that is around 16% mixed and ready to eat. I'm feeding it to my 32 & 19 week olds as well as the two week old chicks and everybody seems to be doing well on it. Fermented it looks like a big bowl of oatmeal. Maybe I should add some raisins! lol When this new bag of oats is gone I plan to switch from oats to scratch for the winter. The reason is that corn is a high energy food and it will help the birds keep warm. (I may gradually add the scratch because of the two week old chicks. Maybe 1/2 oats, 1/2 scratch to start.)
What are you guys feeding?
