How I feed 30 chickens for $1.25 a day

Published on 22 Feb 2016

The crazy easy things I do every day to feed my flock of chickens for just $1.25. No really… the whole grain trick, fish meal, farm goods, and any old (and weird) stuff out of the fridge, and more (RESOURCES BELOW):

FREE (downloadable) action plan for implementing creative feeds: http://bit.ly/CreativeFeedsYT

Rule of 3rds:
1/3 (or 1/9 of a pound) animal protein.
1/3 of green (scraps, fruits/veggies, grass, hay etc..)
1/3 of grains (wild or farmed).

My whole grain feed mix:

30% Corn
30% Wheat
20% Field Peas
10% Oats
10% Fish Meal (if you're not providing other animal proteins).
2% Nutri-balancer

Free choice Kelp
Free Choice Aragonite
Free Choice egg shells and oyster shells (if needed).
