I make my own grain mix sprouts, but I still buy commercial pellets.Thanks all for responding. It sounds like no one responding is mixing their own feed. I keep rolling it around in my head that at least where I am, prepared feed is most likely stale by the time I get it, and with such a small flock, it certainly is by the time I get to the bottom of the bag. I know whole grains have a much longer shelf life. Too bad we didn't have a local co-op to buy fresh feed. If we could set something up with a local distribution once a month, we could all save some money and increase the nutrition of our flocks. Just throwing that thought out there!!!

I'm currently researching mixing my own feed. It sounds like choice feeding is suggested more than mixing your own.Thanks all for responding.

Cemani are not known for being good layers or anything else other than interesting. They are a hypermelanistic breed which is kind of interesting but totally not worth more than 50 a pair. I also find that GFF is not only overpriced but the birds often are not very good representations of their counterparts in the country they originally come from. Pavlovskaya being one of the most recent.Interesting looking birds but not for $5000 a pair. I got upset when I lost a TSC bargain Tetra Tint chick that I bought for $0.50.
Congrats! I have chicks as well. I have two LF Sultans. Last hatch opportunity on the Orloffs over the next week....Thanks! I've got a few eggs under 2 broody hens.
