Hey,
I have a lot of trouble w/the $14 a bag of layer pellets here too in
Saskatchewan, Canada. (our $ = US $) But being blessed w/being on the
grain growing prairies I have supplemented the pellets w/screening
from the seed cleaning plant which has a lot of peas in it as well as
wild oats, barley, canola, flax and a plethora of weed seeds. I also
add to the mix rolled corn, whole grain oats and wheat.
So lately it's been (by parts)
3 - Layer Mash
3 - Screenings
2 - Wheat
1 - Corn
1 - Oats
I only have a small flock of 50 black *** links and all the chickens
and 5 Guinea's free range far and wide in the yard so they get enough
bugs I'd think to supplement protein and fight over the juicy mouse
corpses that the cats leave around. Chicken football we call it lol
I bought 10X year old layers.... something w/brown feathers and black
in the tail for $1 each. What a deal, the diet must be good as been
getting 9 ginormous eggs a day.
Wonder what the city folk are doing today lol
Cheers
peter
