New Feed Idea- Will cut your feed bill down

LOL..we're cheap! Well, not really but I really like making things myself if I can and I'd rather save our $$ for things we can't make or create ourselves.

I do feed moistened alfalfa pellets in the winter, but only in moderation since my layer mash does have alfalfa meal in it.

I buy All Flock Pellets which are 18% protein approx. 18.00 per 50 lb. bag.
I buy cracked corn at local feed mill 9.50 per 50 lb. bag.
I then buy dog food 22% and up to 27% depending on which is on sale for approx. 15.00 per 40 lb. bag.

I mix 2 scoops of pellets, 1 scoop ea. of cracked corn and dog food.

This works well for my mixed flocks of chickens, peacocks, turkeys, as well as ducks and geese.

I use hand held hedge trimmers and clip fresh grass for them each day.

In the winter I toss a flake or 2 of my horses hay into their coops or pens for them to go thru.

Any table scraps and stale bread gets fed to them.

I give all my mixed flock of poultry the All Flock too. They get table scraps and whatnot when I have them...they love it and it cuts waste.
