Quote: X2 Too much corn can compromise their health. Add to a fatty liver, less eggs and weak immune system. You would be better off adding a supplement that has more protein as well. They won't need to eat as much food and will be getting more vitamins and minerals that way.

It's like eating junk food all day and your body keeps craving food, so you keep eating. If you eat a good diet you eat less because your body doesn't need to search for more food to satisfy it's need for things.

Same with chickens. I use that Calf Manna stuff....the Performance Pellets. My birds eat a 1/3 less than they would without it.

Mutt, my clogged arteries are the reason I had a heart attack a month ago. I have a stent now. It was 95% blocked. 1 artery in my neck is 100% clogged.

18% is pretty high to feed constantly and this might be why you have so much dirty butts.

I have heard of people using pig feed for chickens. Not sure if it is cheaper or not. I have never tried it on my birds.

so should i go to layer mash ? I am confused now. I thought if they had a little more protein it would balance the corn.
