Homemade Chicken Layer Feed

This recipe will make 8.5 Pounds of feed filling a ten pound feeder. My hens free range all day so this is an excellent addition to whatever they find. This feed will outshine anything you'll buy at the store or online. It takes little time to throw together and will be on par or perhaps less than the store. When I get some time I can Update what the cost of this feed is exactly for you to compare

I purchase my grains here: https://www.azurestandard.com
4 Cups of Oat Groats or regular naked oats
4 Cups Black Sunflower Seeds
4 Cups Hard Red Wheat
2 Cups Soft White Wheat
2 Cups Kamut
2 Cups Millet
2 Cups Whole Corn (Or Crack it if its too big for your girls. Can substitue popcorn.)
1 Cup Lentils (My girls don't love them so i only use 1 cup)
1 Cup Sesame Seeds
1/2 Cup Brewers Yeast
1/4 Kelp Granules

Oyster Shells on the side or mix some in.
If they don't free range provide them with some free choice grit

Why I chose these grains:

Oats: Super rich in protein (16 percent) B vitamins, calcium and fiber. Also an excellent source of energy. Use any kind of oats

Black Oil Sunflower Seeds: (BOSS) High in protein, minerals, vitamins. The high oil will give their feathers a nice shine!

Wheat: Big source of energy. Red has more protein. I use both for the nutritional balance.

Kamut: A form of wheat

Millet: Rich in aminos and iron.

Whole Corn: provides energy and fat. Not a significant source of vitamins minerals or protein. Use as you see fit.

Lentils: High in protein. (26 percent) If your girls go for them double up!!

Sesame seeds: 25 percent protein in this bad boy. Can be expensive so adjust according to your budget.

Flax: Omega 3 and high in protein, b vitamins and minerals.

Brewers Yeast: B vitamins and protein. It is said to repel ticks and fleas in dogs so maybe here too?)

Kelp Granules: Dried seaweed with essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and salt. Promotes healthy growth, increases egg production and gets you those nice dark yolks.
Your girls will be praising you. Leave any comments below!!
