Roo feed?

Chris, does the poultry concentrate have all the basics as far as vitamins & minerals? I'm wondering about mixing a cock bird ration with it, something like that?
I'd be interested in the mix you use so I can run it by the feed mill to see if they could mix it. I've got under 40 birds and most aren't even 6 mo old yet. There's a game cock ration around here that sounds really good (have yet to catch the feed store open yet though). I've had chickens less than a year but already I've grown tired of this "complete pelleted feed" thing.

It has all that you would need to mix a good feed all you have to add is corn for a basic mix. Now I mix a little more than corn in my mix but that is because I want animal protein in my mix and like the results of adding the other ingredients.

Here is the list of ingredients of the Chick-En-Egg Concentrate from there web page:

Plant protein products, calcium carbonate, processed grain by-products, monocalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, salt, methionine hydroxy analog, choline chloride, manganous oxide, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, dried yeast fermentation solubles, zinc sulfate, selenium yeast, brewer's dried yeast, vitamin A supplement, vitamin D supplement, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, vitamin E supplement, niacin supplement, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin B12 supplement, folic acid, thiamine mononitrate, biotin, ethylenediamine dihydriodide.

I use this same concentrate to custom mix my Starter, Grower, Layer, and Breeder mix.
Here is the link to there site http://www.hubbardlife.com/poultry/chick-en-egg.aspx
Now keep in mind that I do change this mix some by adding the Wheat, Oats, Fish Meal, Meat Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Molasses, Cod Liver Oil.

Corn is all the basic you need to add? Cracked corn? I'd love to do this. There's no price, how much for a 50 lb bag? Maybe I could keep it simple and mix it with the corn, then make another mixture of wheat, oats, etc to use as scratch? Would that work? I'm going to put alfalfa in their pens (the vet said it's great for them).
The closest dealer for the Chick-En-Egg Concentrate is showing 85 miles away, and that's if they're even still a dealer. I really like the idea of mixing my own grains but I don't really know the amounts to mix. If I can use this Chick-En-Egg stuff it'll make it a lot easier.

Corn is about all you have to add.

The price will vary depending on your mill and what they charge.

If you are mixing you own and for a rooster you can mix it just like the grower mix they have poster there, or if you mix it in a small amount you can mix it 14 lbs fine crack corn and 6 lbs Chick-En-Egg Concentrate.

The Chick-En-Egg price varies? Can you give me a ballpark figure? If I can mix it about 1 to 3 with corn it'd sure last a long time. But if it's $75 or so a bag then that's not such a good deal after all.

Can you give me a ballpark figure?

Here in N.E. Ohio I pay $14.00 a 50 pound bag.

Heck that's cheaper than this dang 'complete pelleted' feed I'm buying! I'll call the place tomorrow that's 85 miles away. If it's anywhere close to that price I'm grabbing some up, thank you!
I'll let you know.
