Mixing feeds with different animals!

[pherbe]

Hey guys.. Thinking out loud and hoping for some ideas and confirmation/critique..

I'm super overwhelmed. Let me start there.

We have a small farm.. 11 hens, 3 turkeys, 5 goats.

I really HATE the idea of buying premixed feeds for 3 different species when SO MUCH overlaps and the chicken feed is awful for the goats. SO

Anybody have a premix.. or a combo of multi animal safe ingredients?

The birds all free range, the goats are confined for now but get branches from trees/ and will soon have access to some uncurated pasture (aka.. whatever is out there.. grass, a few patches of weeds, dandelions, alfalfa, some unidentified stuff but nothing dangerous.)

Goats have a mineral block (for goats with copper), free choice DE and Baking Soda.
Chickens and turkeys get a Vitamil in their water (can I sprinkle this in food.. it doesn't dilute well.. seems to sink) and Acidified copper (every 2 months for 5 days), crushed egg shells.

I know protein amounts are different for everything but grown turkeys, chickens and non producing goats seem to stay "around" 17%.

What is a good "17%" mix.

I have good prices on:
Barley
Cracked Corn
Rolled Oats
and we've bought BOSS too.
I have scratch grains but will be stopping that as soon as the bag runs out so I don't have to worry about the goats getting into it once their pen has been expanded closer to the chicken stuff.

We also have Chaffhaye here for 11.99 a 50lb bale.
At that price I've considered using Chaffhaye as the goats primary feed with a 50/50 or grasshay dry bale for extra forage (husband says we don't need it because we have so many tree branches and weeds/grass to share already.

So here was my plan A:
Chicks: Chick Starter in a Creep feeder
Poults: Wild Game feed available in the coop at night
Chickens and Grown Turkeys: Make a mix of the Barley, corn, oats, boss at 17% (any rec'd combos or ratios? I hate that part)

Goats:
Alfalfa or Alfalfa/Grass Hay Free choice:
Growing and producing Goats or as a treat for trims/vax/dewormer:
17% Mix from Chickens,

Milkers: Add Chaffhaye or Pellets for milkers (How much?)

Wow.. ok. Now tell me your thoughts. Am I way off track with this? You guys are always so awesome.

When I had turkeys they were eating the same 20% meat bird pellets as my chickens and guineas. It was the closest thing I could get to an "all flock" feed in pelleted form...and much easier than mixing grains since you usually have to buy them in large quantities (ie 30-50# bags) and have a place to store them but you don't want to store them too long as they degrade, plus you need to mix in mineral/vitamin powder which doesn't necessarily distribute evenly.

If everyone is free ranging you don't need to be overly concerned about the protein percentage because it is going to be thrown off by what they are eating while they are foraging. A few up or down in percentage is not going to make them deformed or have health issues, etc.
