I’m SO glad I clicked on your video – GREAT GREAT content!
Thank you very much
Does this feed recipe work well for both egg layers and meat chickens?
Hi ; do you add puppy kibble in the mix with everything else???
Also, most grocers throw out expired food daily. They will allow you to pick up weekly if you ask. Feed them greens and the eggs will be orange. taste better.
Chickens will lay the amount of eggs designed in her dna to lay. Her eggs are already lined up and programmed in her ovaries!!
Excuse me field corn is delicious. I donโt like sweet corn. Iโd much rather have some fried, boiled out on the cobb of it than the sweet corn for humans. ๐ Itโs delicious in vegetable soup too.
You are giving a lot of miss information!!!!
tankes a-lot ‘very good aida….
There is sweet corn and field corn.
How much puppy food would you add please?
Unpopular opinion- I fed my chickens this for 3 months. They had never been sick. Egg quality dropped and they slowly stopped layingโฆthen got horribly sick.
Over and over.
Switched to store bought pellets and they all started laying again in 2 weeks. Everyone is healthy and recovered.
There arenโt enough nutrients in this mixture. I was hopeful and wanted to make my own. But I almost lost my chickens doing this.
Beautiful white rooster
What puppy chow?

Ferment before feeding
Kalmbach thats what I use…its a great brand and mine are laying like crazy in the winter even… Just thought I would put it out there in case someone’s in a spot that they’re not able to mix their own
All these things your talking about nutritionally great foods sound great but I have not had a chicken that eats anything you promote.
FYIโฆ.most of the corn grown in the US is GMO so keep this in mind if mixing in your bird feed.
You really are at the very best at helping us understand how to care for our animals! Your directions are clear I know exactly what to do without guessing. Thank you!
Can you buy the corn that is non gmo? I just ordered my chicks
I love you! Your videos are awesome and you are so funny and personable…GREAT videos!!!
Chickens donโt lay eggs Hens do.
Is the food you’re buying and feeding your chickens pure food, not bioengineered?
Excuse me field corn is delicious. I donโt like sweet corn. Iโd much rather have some fried, boiled out on the cobb of it than the sweet corn for humans. ๐ Itโs delicious in vegetable soup too.
I donโt think this is enough proteinโฆ I made this and my chickens are now eating their own eggsโฆ..
I’m sorry, but if I’m wanting to get away from feeding my chickens commercial chicken feed, I’m certainly not going to feed them commercial DOG feed.
And for that reason………..I’m out.
My birds will not eat no matter what i do they do not like corn or wheat so what do i add?
You may want to be wearing a mask with the D.E. ,it can damage the lungs ,bt good advice ๐
Obviously you don’t know the difference between calcium and grit
As you talk about calcium, Your showing grit ?
Crock. We grind our own corn and oats, sun flower, canola, barley and make alfalfa pellets . We make pig and sow mix, chicken mix, layers mix, pulley mix, cow and horse mix and finish mix for stars with half crushed corn and oats and Pa. Barrel molasses dribbled in as we grind and fill up bags.
Goats fend for themselves
Very nice ๐
I grew up to hearing horse corn for animal food and sweet corn was the people corn then the Indian corn for decorative and shoe peg was the little short stalks tiny 3โ ears
Love your video and thanks for sharing the recipe. Another source of calcium is ground egg shells. I save all my eggshells, watch them thoroughly and rinse. When they are completely dry I put them in a sturdy chick food bag and crush them into very tiny bits. I don’t leave any pieces larger than a grain of rice. My eggs have nice thick shells. Sadly, I only have one chicken so I don’t purchase the oyster shells since I add the egg shells back into the diet. If I had more chickens than I would definitely use the oyster shell, since I would not have enough eggshells to contribute to the necessary calcium.
I also use the ground eggshells in the garden to supplement the soil.
Apparently the shells gives calsium but desolves. Therefor grit is used
LOVE YOU BECKY
Do any of you use a treadle feeder? We have had some issues with rats coming for feed. I’m wondering if this would help. Do treadle feeders work well?
Becky, you are looking mighty fine these days.
Eggs also get a weak shell if the hens don’t have oyster shells.
Not sure which redhead they’re talking about in that thumbnail they both have eggs
Oh my goodness, I just learned so much from you. I have had chickens for just 2 months. Thanks so much!
Where do you buy these products?
I appreciate your video . But I just saw a u tube video , your feeding your chickens to death.. said too many sunflower seeds. And another, oats blow up chickens gut. I pray that we all have correct I fo. We love our chickens. Must keep learning with humility and prayer. Thank you so much agape love to all
Your suggested ingredients are very valuable. I did a search on Tractor Supplyโs basic chicken feed labels, and it included a lot more unrecognizable ingredients. I am uncertain if they are good or bad, but Iโd like to try your remedy. Thank you.
My chick’s 19 of them, refuse to eat black seed sunflowers, corn, and spilt peas.They pick around them, so frustrating.
What do you think about soy?
So what the heck! Don’t you feed your chickens layer feed? Crumbles or pellets?
Jeze, rip off.
My chickens won’t eat seeds at all. Why do other people’s chickens eat seeds and mine dont like it?
