They have oyster shell full time. The protein was 17 on the wheat. Most layer is 16-19 I have about 30 chickens right now.

If you can buy it from a farmer it will cut your cost 50%. I have a bin to put it in, and have got my chicken feed in bulk from guys I remove beaver for when they call. Depending on what you get you may have to supplement it some, but it sure cuts the cost. Even a pickup load at a time helps. I lined up a guy with a seed plant and seed is screened to size of grain too. So I will get small and cracked grain from him too. He will fill those square grain bags and load them in the pickup.

Illinois spoiled us as far as chicken food. We had 3 grain elevators to chose from. Here they don't raise enough grain to have elevators like I was used to. Everything is bagged and our best outlet is Tractor Supply. The wife's chicken herd has been cut down a bunch.

Mine free range all day. So they get what they want for greens. I cut up beef fat and they get it too. I used to get the band saw cleanings from the meat shop. It was a mix of bone, fat and meat. The meat shop closed so that is gone.
