Man great mix!!! So glad I Found this video. Been feeding my girls this for about month and half. They are laying daily sometimes 8 a day. Love this mix ❤🐓.. this is all we feed them now. Thanks for sharing
So glad you tried this for your girls! Thanks for the message. Check out the wheat grass fodder video we made, that’s a fun treat they’ll love to get surprised with
@@markself1079 The recipe is in the description but here’s the recipe below: Oats Wild bird seed Dried Cilantro Dried Parsley Dried Oregano Crushed Red Pepper
Wow you’re amazing, I just have 6 girls 3 weeks old , I what my girls have the best food, thank you so much, I have a question? What protein can I give to my girls? Thank you again. Have a lovely day.❤
@@ramosgugu8755 happy to help and so glad you've started your own flock. For protein, we like black fly larvae or any dried worms that you can order online or get from your feed store
Yup, I use to add fresh n dry herbs, along with Chile flakes, fat & milk & most scrap only during Winter season n then omit Chile flakes & fat the Summer. They were mega healthy. "Isa "
this doesnt seem to be enough protein content to sustain them but i also mix my feed. whole oats NOT quaker, Wheat, sunflower, corn, cayenne, italian herbs, and grubs mixed with pellet feed
Hello friend, I'd suggest to start doing the barley/alfalfa/corn fodder method to save cost and to get extra nutritional benefits. Green Fodder make eggs and meat taste better.
Ah we’ve been asked quite a bit about this topic! We plan to put a video together. But for now- what we’ve discovered is letting them free range for the last 1-3 hours of daylight, then they put themselves to bed and we just shut their door. Hawks typically feed early in the morning and afternoon and usually don’t hunt in the evening unless they weren’t successful earlier. We have a lot of hawks in our area and haven’t had issues with them for over two years using this method. *We also cut down a large tree close to our coop that the hawks would sit in to hunt so cleaning up anything like that helps a ton as well.
Awesome!! Can’t wait to try this! Was that just the bulk box of quaker oats you get from Sams clue that has three bags? Couldn’t tell how many you put in. And 50lb bag of wild bird feed mix? Thanks in advance
Hey Matt, You are correct, it’s the bulk box from Sam’s. The wild bird feed bag was from tractor supply but Sam’s might have that as well, if so, you can get everything you need there. Your birds will love it! While you’re at it, check out our video about wheat grass fodder, our birds LOVE it when we make that for them
I just get regular layer pellet and mix some scratch grains in when feeding. Total is roughly $30/month to feed 20 chickens. They also free range and eat left overs and compost bugs
They LOVE IT! For this one we mixed rolled oats, dried parsley, dried oregano, dried oregano, crushed red pepper, and a bag of wild bird seed mix that we got from Tractor Supply. We also like to add chia seeds and flax seeds, but didn't have any for this video
@@trinityriverhomestead Yes & Yes! This winter we've been able to increase our egg production with this, sprouted wheat grass fodder, and beef organs & oxtail. We've posted a few videos and shorts to the channel about these so check those out and give them a try. Your flock will LOVE IT!
Absolutely! Chickens don’t have the receptors for spicy foods. The red pepper has multiple benefits such as: preventing/fighting bacteria and worms, high vitamin c content, darker orange yolks, and it keeps rodents away from the food to name a few. They LOVE it!
Oh no, parsley is extremely high in nutrients. Added to your chickens' diet, it will give them a great vitamin boost and also aid in blood vessel development
Those are oats. We have the entire recipe in the description as well as some long form videos on the channel of other options like wheatgrass fodder. Check em out, your birds will love it!
Absolutely! Here’s the recipe below: Oats Wild bird seed Dried Cilantro Dried Parsley Dried Oregano Crushed Red Pepper (*Red pepper has a lot of benefits: Natural dewormer, fights bacteria, keeps other animals out of the feed, gives the egg yolk a more rich color, chickens can’t taste spice so it doesn’t bother them). You can also add things like chia seeds and flax seeds.
Neither can we, that’s why we make our own. That way we know EXACTLY what our birds are eating. Check out the video we have on our channel about how to grow wheatgrass fodder. They LOVE that!
Once they are out of the brooder and in a coop, they are good to have this along with the bugs/worms they get free ranging. When they are in the brooder, we start them on grower feed and then start to mix this in toward the last few weeks before we move them to the coop
Yeah but how healthy is just eating corn all the time.... Infact there is a good time for corn feed but most people actually advise against only feeding corn... Theirs no real nutrition in it... Stuff for energy or making them fat .. but not a healthy anything for anyone including your birds
@@stephenhanes8043 I was just making an observation, Dear. The herbs DO cost more than corn. I never said the corn was healthier or that chickens shouldn't have herbs to eat.
LoL, yeah I know what you were meaning.. I read it correctly... I was just saying why would you want to go as cheap as possible and not provide for your birds in the first place... It doesn't cost a whole lot more buying other items... This is the first time I've seen a recipe recently like this one (new to chicken keeping myself/that was a grandma grandpa thing before me lol ). But I do cook eggs for my chickens every other night and in the scrambled eggs I cook for them I do add minced garlic, green beans, sometimes light tomato, celery, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, Basil, light Oregano and some thyme... I do add others depending on what I have at the time too but.. And hey if someone had good stamps then it'd all be free 😂
Can I feed this mix to quail? I have a rescued quail. She seems to be adjusted well as the only one pet game bird; I also have a rescued cockatiel. They seem to keep each other company. My quail eats store bought egg laying feed but she LOVES me to feed her raw rice and cooked eggs! I also feed her crushed shells and mixed beans and corns for cockatiels that mine has refused to nibble on them.
We really wanted to get our chickens off of store bought feed. So we learned how to make our own! Here’s the recipe below: Oats Wild bird seed Dried Cilantro Dried Parsley Dried Oregano Crushed Red Pepper (*Red pepper has a lot of benefits: Natural dewormer, fights bacteria, keeps other animals out of the feed, gives the egg yolk a more rich color, chickens can’t taste spice so it doesn’t bother them). You can also add things like chia seeds and flax seeds. Along with this mixture- we give our chickens scraps from the kitchen, crushed egg shells, wheat fodder, heart, kidney, liver and oxtail. Give this a try and let us know what you think!
Too much herbs to chicken feed ratio that was enough herbs for 80-100lbs+ of chicken feed and also oatmeal and wild bird food mixed together is not enough protein for chickens they need at least 15% protein u would have been better off just buying a bag of gamecock mix that has everything a chicken needs in it as far as their diet goes and its already mixed together
