Green liquidish poop with white particles.

Thank you Miss for your awesome replies. Actually the thing there is this factory made feed available which is used by poultry industry. It smells really foul like makes me vomit (once I did try to smell it and the smell didn't go away for like a day from my nostrils felt like my nose hairs were burned hehe). They put alot of "fish meal". The chickens loved it but their poop and the area would smell so bad I can't write it down. So I discounted it and try to feed them my own homemade (atleast I knew of the ingredients I put. selected top/best quality available).
Anyways hehe I would like to know about a few things you mentioned in your post like
1. Soft wheat: does it mean the cracked wheat?
2. Durum wheat? Don't quite know what that is.
Rest of the items you mentioned are easily available except for Brewer yeast.
(Till last month I would feed them somewhat similar feed but discontinued sun flower seeds as I thought the hot weather might cause them more heat inside and now fees them the mixture of the 3 items I shared earlier)

Wil normal yeast do the thing miss?

Durum wheat is a hard winter wheat, planted in the fall and harvested the following summer. It's higher and protein, more likely to be used in making pasta or bread.

Soft wheat is a spring wheat (usually), planted early spring and harvested later in the summer. It's a lower protein flour usually used for pastries, cookies, scones, etc. If you can give me some kind of idea of what kind of wheat you have access to, I can try to readjust the recipe for you. Would you have access to kelp meal or nutritional yeast?

Here is an excellent discussion in why you should stick with commercial feed (if you can): https://the-chicken-chick.com/how-homemade-feed-can-hurt-your-chickens/

I don't know much about your region though to know if the locally available feed is of high quality or not. Is there another source you could try??

well spring wheat is easily available here. As far as kelp is concerned I heard that the weed that washes to our shores in summers is called kelp (have broad and long leaves). I also read somewhere that this seaweed can be used to feed chickens when dried up and powdered but I was not sure so didn't added that up to my girls and boys feed hehe.
I am not sure about nutritional yeast. Just heard from me mom about the yeast she use in making bread sometimes.

Yeast is not the same thing as nutritional yeast. It does sound like the kelp (dried and powdered) is what I was referring to.

Do you have access to soy beans?

So to make up the difference in not being able to use durum wheat or hard wheat, I had to increase the amount of peas and lentils by a good bit.
This recipe makes 30 pounds, has roughly 16.3% protein and 4.13% fat.

2.25 pounds barley
2 pounds corn
5 pounds lentils
4 pounds millet
2.5 pounds oats
8 pounds peas
1.25 pounds black oil sunflower seeds
5 pounds soft wheat

This diet is still rather limited, so I'd try to feed the chickens dark leafy greens like broccoli, kale, cabbage, etc as treats. Meal worms, leftover bits of fish (if you ever eat fish for dinner), would all be good treats to give on occasion and help improve diet variety. Watermelon, apples, and other fruits are also good in moderation, particularly if the weather is very hot. Make sure they have access in a separate container egg shells or oyster shells to supplement calcium intake.

If you have access to soybeans I can readjust to include that. I can also include flaxseed and buckwheat, or any other grain that you have access to and want to tell me about.

I checked the bag, & it's ingredients tag is torn. I'll have to check a different bag tomorrow.

Thank you, that helps put things in perspective.
It's understood that perhaps factory feed wouldn't be best for you, it looks like you're getting some really good advice here I'm making your own, best of luck.

I can't thank you enough for the time and advice i am getting from you.
Yes i can get soy beans and flax seed (expensive but i might get my hands on some).
I daily feed them what ever green i can find for them whether it be alfalfa, spinach, coriander, mint anything green i can find.
Kindly also guide please should i continue giving them the Mustard Straw (mustard seed cake) mixed with coats of wheat,rye or any grains? Plus i also feed them here in Pakistan it is called "Atti". it is basically fed to cattle it contains mixture of corn, wheat, soy bean, rice barn, and other grains (that i know off). The above mixture (200 grams) is fed to them once per day (half cattle feed half mixed coats of grains and 40-50 grams of mustard cake). They actually love this mixture even more than the grains i feed them.

I am unfamiliar with the mustard straw so I can’t comment on that. As for the Atti, any additional grain you give them is going to take away from those target protein levels so I would use them as small treats only, one or two handfuls for the whole flock in one day. Cattle grain is usually low in protein because it’s supposed to fatten them up. Here we have a similar combination of grains for chickens called “scratch grain” and it is only supposed to be used in small amounts. If flaxseed and soy is expensive, I wouldn’t use it. Chickens should be affordable! All of the greens you mentioned sound good. For greens, they are very nutritious and higher in protein so they can have a lot more of that. I really hope I have been of some help to you and your flock.

Can i kindly update you in a week or so about the feed? and it's impact. I will buy most of the items tomorrow morning (4:54 AM here)
About Mustard seed cake:

he protein contents in black and yellow mustard cakes were 38.17% and 28.80% and their pepsin digestibility was 80.33% and 77.43%, respectively. The proteins were extracted at different pH and maximum proteins (89.13% of 38.17% and 87.76% of 28.80% respectively) isolated from black and yellow mustard cakes at pH 12.Apr 7, 2015

can also write the recipe with Soy and Flex seed please..
They are about to lay eggs almost 4.5 months old (I have 7 Hens). I want to feed them the best will use it on alternate days or may be as a flovour for them to enjoy after a few weeks. Thank You once again Miss
