What do you feed your chickens and roosters

[Dwarf rooster]

I’m asking people with chickens what do they feed their chickens.

I feed all-flock since I have a mixed flock, that is to say, some younger hens that are laying real good and some older ones that don't lay very often, and a rooster. We also have some very young chickens, both cockerels and pullets, about 8 weeks old. We feed the all-flock to ensure that nobody gets too much calcium, and we have oyster shell available at all times in a separate feeder. Of course we also provide grit in separate feeders as well. The chicks get a fine grit and the older chickens get bigger grit. They are still in separate pens but we will be integrating them in a couple of weeks.

75% layer feed pellet and 25% starter feed both by Poulin Grain

I don't have any Cockerels/Roosters, but these feeds are safe for them.
I am currently feeding a Non-Medicated Starter-Grower 18% with Oyster Shells in a separate container.
I also feed a All-Flock/Flock Raiser crumble 20%.
I buy whichever is available or fresher when I'm at TSC.
My 6 hens range in age 19 months to 4 years.
I like the higher Protein 18-20% than most Layers feed. My first Flock started to Feather pick when I switched to a Layers feed 16%.

I also give them Scratch Grains as a treat, scattered in their pen. Up to 2 Tablespoons per chicken daily. GC
