Help me work this out.
I grind all of my cattle and hog feed. I've got that down pat and have used the same ratios for years using the Purina Concentrate 40.
About six months ago I decided to start grinding my own chicken feed. With grain prices it's better than selling, right? So, I got the chicken base from the Coop (it's 40% protein). I've been mixing it 4to1. Half corn, a quarter wheat, and a quarter milo. The first batch they kind of picked through and didn't eat too well. The second batch I added an additional 50 pounds of base and they ate it better. Egg quality was better. For giggles the next batch I put in 100 extra pounds of base. They ate it like candy. They laid like fiends. I dropped back the next batch to the extra 50 again and have held there. All of the birds are healthy and laying 95% but aren't eating a ton.
Which is better - eating like crazy or eating a lesser amount? The Coop has been no help.
