Making organic chicken feed is simple. It is deciding what constitutes "organic" that can make the process complex. Princeton University researchers have defined organic simply as being "simple, healthful and close to nature," while manufacturers are at liberty to use more liberal definitions that define organic as anything carbon based, due to the FDA's unwillingness to define and regulate exactly what words like "natural" and "organic" should mean. If you are interested in making your own chicken feed then you probably are concerned with making sure your chickens are not getting unnatural ingredients in their diet.

Difficulty: EasyInstructionsThings You'll Need:
2 5-gallon buckets
6 airtight bins
Scoops
Whole corn
Soft white wheat
Hard red winter wheat
Hulled barley
Oat groats
Sunflower seeds
Millet
Kamut
Amaranth seeds
Split peas
Lentils
Quinoa
Sesame seeds
Flax seeds
Kelp granules
Granite grit
Oyster shell
Step 1Store all the ingredients in the six airtight bins. Corn should go in one bin by itself. The wheats can be stored together. Barley should go by itself. Oats and sunflower seeds also should each have their own containers. Everything else can be mixed in the last container except the kelp granules, the granite grit and oysters, which can remain in their original bags. Mix up your feed in large or small amounts as you wish.

Step 2Add feed components to one 5-gallon bucket. One scoop is equivalent to one "part." Mix two parts whole corn and three parts of the wheat mixture in the bucket, along with one part oats, one part grouts and one part sunflower seeds.

Step 3Pour the mix back and forth between the two buckets to mix up the feed. Do this several times to make sure it is all mixed well.

Step 4Add in the kelp granules, granite grit and oyster shell. You need about half a scoop of each.

Step 5Mix up the feed some more. Pour the feed back and forth between the two buckets at least five more times. Now you are ready to feed your chickens their delicious organic meal.

I think the kind of organic we are talking about contains ingredients that our free from chemicals and genetically modified grains...

I pay $22 for 50 pounds. The regular Layena Pellets are $16 for 50 pounds at the same store.

I think I saw Layena in E Tenn at tractor supply for $12 or $13 per 50# bag. It is a dollar more than Dumor which is the tractor supply feed that is made by Purina for Tractor Supply.
