Ingredients: Cereal grains and their by products, lugumes and their by products, protein meals (animal and vegetable), fats and oils(animal and vegetable),minerals,vitamins.


is this healthy

What is that from...a bag of feed?
Can you take a pic of the label, or list the nutrient levels?

I am not that well versed to tell you if that is good or bad, usually there is a more detailed ingredients list, those leave it open to put a wide range of different things in there.

Good job on the pics.

That protein level is bare minimum for good laying.


I like to feed an 'all flock' 20% protein crumble to all ages and genders. Makes life much simpler to store and distribute one type of chow that everyone can eat and have calcium available at all times for the layers, oyster shell mixed with rinsed, dried, crushed chicken egg shells in a separate container.
The higher protein crumble offsets the 8% protein scratch grains and other kitchen/garden scraps I like to offer.

Thanks we had oysters for dinner last night so I'll smash them up and feed them to my chickens!
