I found it was much easier to doctor up the feed I had. The right ratios are there already. Some people talk about a vitamin pak to add?

I use this recipe as a guide but do the following:

1 parts whole corn
2 parts soft white wheat
2 parts hard red winter wheat
(1/4 part hulled barley when i can get it for cheap)
2 part sunflower seeds
1 part millet
1/4 part kamut
1/8 or less part amaranth seeds (these are tiny seeds and my girls dun like them)
1 part split peas
1 part lentils
1/4 part quinoa
1/4 part sesame seeds
1/4 part flax seeds
free choice oyster/egg shell
free choice organic soy-free layer feed

Mine free-range in a small urban backyard so they get grits, grass and other minerals etc. from making our yard totally ugly.
