Layer feed or all flocks for non-mixed flock?

[Karlkurla Chooks]

Any Poultry Mix works well. My chooks forage in the garden as well.

There are several layer feeds that are 18-20% protein, so all flock isn't necessarily more protein. I always had to give calcium even when feeding layer. I have fed scratch daily in limited amounts for 32 years & haven't had a problem. Do what works for you! YMMV

Which layer feeds have 18-20% protein? I would like to look into it, thank you!

I feed that and they still like to eat egg shells and oyster shell.
I like the feed a lot. I use Chewy and always order cat food at the same time in order to get free shipping.
It is often extremely fresh which makes me happy, and the one time it wasn’t Chewy sent a new bag no questions asked!

We just have silkies who can suffer from vitamin deficiencies easier than most other breeds and for a few years now have fed them this:

It's an all-flock. We feed it to our baby chicks, all adults, and it's complete for ducks too.

We have a dish of oyster shell for the hens. We got that in cute little buckets from Chewy too.
