My chickens (aka my Chickies, my Chicklets, my Buckaroos, my Chookers) are so much more fun, adorable, and amazing than I ever expected, and even though they're not tiny cute little fluff balls anymore, I have loved them through every stage of their lives thus far!
They have brought me so much entertainment, joy, laughter, and yes, some tears as well, and I literally look forward all day long to the end of the work day when I can see them again and tuck them in at night. (Yes, I might be a little bit obsessed...) :-) So it's no surprise that making my own chicken feed is important to me.
There is plenty of debate out there about what you should feed your chickens, and some of the chicken owner forums I often peruse feature hot arguments about whether or not you should ONLY feed commercial chicken feed.
Whatever you choose to feed your chickens is, of course, up to you, but I, for one, have opted for homemade whole grain feed instead. Below are some of the reasons why, as well as a great recipe and helpful resource that I use for mixing up my own nutritionally balanced chicken feed.
