I talked with my local co op the price of chiken feed was getting g expensive. They said since I live on a farm and have corn and oats available I should mix feed myself. I bought 2 bags of soybean meal went home put the smallest screen in my grinder and found the app to get the right protien percent. It cam out to be roughly 25 part soybean and 75 part corn would roughly get me between 18 and 16% protien. It worked out great I added a little oats cause that's what they suggested well the last of my chicken feed is in the feeder and I'll be starting my home made mix soon. Just wanted to see what you all thought of this idea. By the way one 55 gallon barrel lasted 3 weeks and it was 60 bucks for 4 bags of feed now I have 3 barrels full of feed for about 5 bucks mixed myself hopefully I don't get to much criticism lol
