I have a little of everything what do i feed.

I have a flock of a little of everything. Chickens, turkeys guinea hens and geese. They all graze but what should I use for feed. I'm currently using all flock purina but I've heard people just using chicken layer feed. But I want everyone's opinion before I go out and buy more feed this afternoon.

Stick with the all flock ration. It's formulated for different species, and for both laying and non laying hens. Just add a separate bowl of oyster shells for the calcium needs.

Sometimes I will feed layer feed because I'm able to save a few dollars, but nutritionally the all flock is a better choice.

@oldheenlikesdogs' answer is best. Feeding layer formula to non-layers can be very hard on their organs because of the overload of calcium. So if you have birds too old or young to lay, or males, or molting birds, or in your case, different species of birds, an all-flock formula works for everybody. Providing calcium in the form of oyster shell in a separate vessel works great, as those who need it will help hemselves and those who don't will ignore it.

All flock or flock raiser.
