Should go with pellet food or crumble food. Also how expensive is a 50 pound bag of what you buy. Right now im nutrena country feeds 16% crumble 16% protein and i dont reamber the rest. Its 11.49 for 50lbs
 
It is all personal preference. Pellets usually mean less waste. That price is reasonable. Is this for chicks? is the 16% option a layer feed, or a starter/grower feed? You will want to think about the size of the pellets versus the size of your birds. Also the age of your birds versus the calcium content of the feed.

Its a layer feed. Thanks for the help!

The advice you will get from most people on here will be to stop mixing and just feed an All Flock or Flock Raiser feed that is low in calcium but high in protein. Most are 18 or 20%. Then have a separate dish of calcium for those who want/need it.

I dont know i looked up the prices and saw how expensive it was thanks for the suggestion i might just try a food higher in protein.
