[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 5243978, member: 5764"] Sorry I’m a bit confused... you have layer pellets but they aren’t high enough protein for layers? I give my girls wheat (12-14% protein usually), mixed with layer crumble which is 17% I believe. Plus supplementing whatever they find while ranging. They lay fine. Especially since I don’t need to push them to up production for sales. They’re just for my own use. During moulting I will up their protein with meat, eggs, meal worms, cat food, and BOSS. The main protein increasers are going to be soy meal and canola meal and both are probably hard to find organic. I guess I just don’t see the point of sourcing and shipping in additional feed at additional costs to increase the protein. They’ll produce just fine at 17-18% for a family’s personal use. [/QUOTE]
