Food mix for mixed flock

[Mamahen2104]

Hey all!
So I have a mixed flock of 8 chickens and 4 ducks and everyone just started laying/about to lay within a week. Black Friday has food on sale. I'm looking at getting a layer pellet with extra omega-3 and mixing it. Would it be better to mix with duck food or flock raiser? I have oyster shell that I throw out with their scratch so they can eat it when they need it. Thanks!

Are they all female? I don't know much but I do know that layer feed has too much calcium for males and not-yet-laying hens.

I hope you find someone here who can help you more than I can. Happy thanksgiving!

Yes they're all females! I have three total who will be laying any minute and the rest are laying now

I mix 2/3 all flock type product with 1/3 layer feed.

I agree with RoosterML, mix your layer feed with an all flock feed. This is what I do.
