New scratch I'd like to try....

There's a local feed mill here that has a 5 grain scratch with dried peas added, I know dried beans are a no go but, what about dried peas?

Peas are fine

Peas are fine, though mine don't like them dried, only fresh.

Scratch has corn in it, which is a carbohydrate. Corn with livestock is used to add fat to them. Protein adds meat and carbs add fat. Carbs should be fed in moderation to any stock, to maintain a healthy balance between meat and fat. Especially for processing stock or egg production.

I use scratch as a treat. They might get 2 cups a day, they can forage out in the yard or they get layer feed. Anything else I use to keep them near the coop and as treats
