How to Mix Homemade Chicken Feed To Get More Eggs!

I noticed you removed your ring when mixing. Very smart! The price per pound skyrockets when you add diamonds to your feed! 😂

I watched this a couple of years ago and have been using the recipe for my chickens ever since. I am very happy to know exactly what they are eating and they are thriving! Thank you for sharing this!

She has done her homework well. She is a very bright woman. Thanks for all your work and advice ma’am

After all these years watching your videos , I finally did it I got 6 chicks hens and one turkey for thanksgiving. They were 5 days old when I got them and they are 14 days now .

1 sack Whole grain Wheat (white or red) 1 sack Whole corn 1 sack Whole Oats 1/3 sack Soy meal She used 1/2 sacks of each and 1/6 sack of Soy in the video to suit her container. Calf Manna can be added, not much maybe 3 scoops I am guessing by the looks. Great video and love the pups!! 😀

I wanted to share my favorite feeding method for whole grains. I put my feed in a bucket when I close the hens in at night, add water to 2 x the feed depth then feed on the ground next morning. Love this video, it started my experiment in whole grains and scratch. Keep on keepin on young lady!!!!

After starting this feeding plan last fall, it has worked well over the winter. Now in March we are getting so many eggs we can't give them all away. They taste so much better and are strong shelled and after adding the fodder you recommend the yolks are a deep yellow to orange. We thank you so much for having a great YouTube channel.

Just bought four hens. Dang, didn't realize I needed a biology degree to feed them! Good video.

This video is gold. Makes so much sense to buy whole grains and beans and mix own feed.

Thank you for the video. The challenge is finding ingredients of the quality I want. Almost all corn and soy is GMO now. And even though oats and wheat are not (so far), the best oats are grown up north where they spray them with Glyphosate to dry them right before harvesting. Even organic oats can test positive for Glyphosate. I found a sprouting feed I really liked. But when shipping costs went up, they raised the cost to ship one 25 lb bag to $100+ which is just crazy. They clearly decided they didn't want to ship it anymore. Quality ingredients can sometimes be found locally. For example, there is a grower of organic wheat NW of OKC. They also grow field peas. Both can be sprouted and wheat berries can be grown into fodder. Flax seed is getting easier to find because more people are feeding it to their horses now.

You have come a long way since I first started watching your channel. Your research has made you an expert. Good job girl!

Good video. I make my own feed too. I do not use Soy it might be a good protein source but growing mealworms is fairly easy. I freeze them then dry them. Mealworms are 50% excellent quality "animal" protein. Chickens are not Herbivores. They are very carnivorous. "Bugs" keep them healthy and prevent a Salmonella infection. Soy makes big eggs. Too much Soy can cause ova-duct prolapse. I prefer using dried mealworms for my protein source. I also grow #4 Russian Comfrey and enough corn for a year's worth of feed after it is dried. I do not use artificial fertilizers or pesticides of any kind. I do not use "organic fertilizers either. I use a different plot for corn every year

Love your video! I will be sharing this for sure! We started out allowing ours to free-range and they rarely ate the feed. We lost 2 to hawks, and 1 to an owl (because that chicken would not get in the coop that night). So they are in the coop more now. We do let them out and are watchful. We just can't bring ourselves to have an animal constantly caged.

New subscriber here as well as new chicken owner. I appreciate this video, thank you for making it so I could give my chickens the healthiest life possible as well as giving my family the healthiest eggs possible.

Thank you SOOOOOOO much! I’m just about to get chickens in about a month and I am so excited and want the very best for my hens that lay eggs because those are going into mine and my family’s body!!

Great video with a ton of info. Here’s what I plan to do. 4 metal trash cans for corn, wheat, oats and soy. 1 measure of each of the first 3 three and a 1/2 measure of the soy. Mix as I feed in a coffee can. More thorough mixing and less hassle.

Yes! Thank you! No one does this. I have been trying to find a video like this. I thought it was so weird how many people use crumble or pellets. I only use crumble now for the chicks but hate how it just obliterates itself. I am so excited to make my own layer feed instead of using that processed crap.

Thank you for all the information you have shared with us. And we love your videos. Thanks again, stay safe out there.

I've been watching chicken videos a lot in the last year and this is definitely among the top 3 when it comes to chicken feeding.

Thanks for getting me started on this journey. I discovered that non genetically engineered soy and corn is very difficult to find. I did find a feed store just over an hour out of town and it is so much cheaper to buy grains from a farming community. It was less than half the price of all city Big Lot pet stores and a beautiful drive. I was so excited I wanted to share this with all of you. They also ordered non gmo corn for me and it was still reasonably priced but I gad to buy a 50 lb bag.
