We bought ingredients to make our own chicken feed. Looking at many sites, they all say something different so we're hoping to get advice from anyone else who makes their own feed. Btw they are also free-range and are given egg shells and table scraps. Here's what we got.
1. 25lb of black oil sunflower seeds
2. 50lbs of uncleaned wheat
3. 50lbs of oats
4. Diatomaceous earth
5. Frozen Peas
6. Lentils
7. 50lb cracked corn
8. Oyster Shells
We have roosters, pullets, and laying hens. Our pullets should be laying soon. What kind of mix should be for roosters? Hens? I'll probably feed a rooster mix to the pullets until they start laying. We can also get soybean meal or cottonseed meal at our feed store. Next time we are in the area we will likely get some soybean meal.
