I was buying like four different kinds of feed a while back. Now I just buy layer crumbles (which is only 13.50/50 lbs at the country gas station five minutes away) and starter grower for everything else- chicks, quail, and pullets that don't lay. The starter grower is 16.99/50 lb bag other wise I would do what she said
24% chick starter up to 6-7 weeks, then 20% "fnisher" or broiler crumbles for everybody. My grown-up girls free range (not sure how this is gonna play out when I have multiple pens...) and everybody gets ground-up veggies just about every day. (So far -- I'll be out by January 
I'm not sure yet. I do have a second set that does have a few different breeds. I could use those.Three hours until your egg contest starts
What will you do in the event of a tie? Will there be a tie breaker?
Not like I will guess any right, but I'm goin to go study up
I don't have a food processor or leftover produce. I usually buy them lettuce when it is on sale. During the summer they get grass clippings.I'm pretty much the same as madamwlf, for what it's worth) I throw a handful of sunflower heads in the stalls every couple of days (grow 'em, snip the heads off, let 'em dry -- the chickens pick out the seeds just fine) and some scratch now and then just for fun!
Okay, am I the only person here who runs all her leftover produce thru a food processor for her birds? My chickens LOVE beets, so long as they're chopped up into bite-sized bits. And cabbage. And turnips!
The game bird feed is something like $2 more a bag. I wanted the higher protein but it's just too expensive. So I stuck with the 20% feed.
