REVIEW my Gluten Free Feed Recipe

[Folly's place]

Also consider that at least some of your birds may pick through this whole grain mix and eat the best tasting items, thereby having a totally unbalanced diet. It's also tricky to have your vitamin/ mineral mix not settle out, so not be eaten. You can make this work, but it will be a lot harder than buying premade!

To Folly's point, you'll want to plan a twice per day feeding regimen limiting feed to what they can consume in 45 minutes to an hour. If there is residue left in the feeder it's more likely your grain meals than fish meal or nutri-balancer. Field trials on grass based systems showed little to no trace of either in any left over residue. Interestingly enough, H & B pelletizes their meals and nutri-balancer and adds it to the grains. I like to add alfalfa for my birds in the winter, they won't touch meal, but won't leave a pellet behind.
