Hey Y'all! I recently scrolling through Pinterest and found a post about making your own chicken feed. I have a lot of questions regarding this subject, as I have never heard of anyone doing this before. How do I go about making sure the feed is nutritionally balanced? What is considered nutritionally balanced diet for a chicken? What types of grains/seeds/supplements should I use and avoid? What portions of those ingredients should I use?
My flock already gets a huge assortment of "treats" like corn on the cob, cabbage, tomatoes, leafy greens and more, but my thought is anything homemade has to be better than premade feed we buy at the store. I am very new to this idea of making chicken feed at home so any little bit of information you can offer me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
