HOW TO MIX IT
Start out feeding ⅓ pound of feed per day per chicken
Calculate the total daily weight needed.
My example of 30 birds = 10 pounds
So I’d need 3 pounds corn, 3 pounds wheat, 2 pounds peas, 1 pound oats, 1 pound fish meal and .2 pounds of nutri-balancer.
Weigh out the daily ration into your jar or feed scoop.
Pour into your large bin or bucket alternating grains.
fEEDING IT
