Feeding general chicken feed plus quality dog food that is soaked in water.

Really Dog Food? What kind of quality dog food?

My chickens get this soy-free non-GMO I think it's 16% protein. It's mixed on-site though so they'll add anything specific you need. Here's a link

Where can you buy that at?

I use Purina Layena Pellets and ocassionally Purina Layena Omega 3. I know it's probably not non-GMO but it works well! The pellets work better; the chicks don't waste it as much as crumbles.

I've only heard of it in NY
You should be able to find locations on the website

We ordered pullets but ended up with nine and one rooster. Six of the hens are laying, three americaunas haven’t yet but I expect soon (the layers are sexlinks). I’m curious though, as we didn’t expect a rooster I’ve been feeding layer feed. I do put out oyster shells and have occasionally spotted a hen partaking. With only one rooster I hadn’t thought about switching to an all flock but wondered if I could mix some into the current feed? They use the grandpa’s feeder with free access.

I was told to do scratch grains and layer food for my mixed flock. But on another thread they said scratch grains is candy... so would layer feed and flock raiser be a better combination?

Flock raiser/all flock or starter/grower with oyster shell on the side would be the better option.

I mostly just avoid Purina and the Tractor Supply brand. Too many reported issues. I'll stick with organic feed from more reputable companies

I feed grower and 17% Layer, kinda just as I open the bags. My ducks are on the same diet, but will be moved to waterfowl feed woth oyster shell pretty soon
