Thanks for an alternative feed suggestion. For the best eggs, you need to give them fresh greens and bugs as well. The easiest way is let them on to your lawn.

The pork plant used the scraps, grissle and trimmed fat for cat food producers. Yeah, you are supposed to have cows or sheep or at least rabbits to crap everywhere and let the chickens scratch the crap into the ground to get the worms that come up for the poo. Then the chickens don't need much or any feed because they get earthworms and meal worms. Someone said frozen Japanese beetles from the traps, which sounds like a good idea.

[@budkingston3347]

The MAIN reason they eat eggs is because they need the calcium to make new shells. If you feed them an “egg-maker mash/crumbles/pellets”, that has enough calcium. If you don’t, they will eat an egg as fast as it is laid. A substitute is to add oyster shells. At the least, save all old egg shells, crush them to 2-4mm flakes and feed them that.

My grandmother was as country as you could get. She lived through the great depression and knew all the little secrets. She raised chickens for eggs and meat but also to barter with. She traded eggs for milk that was so fresh that it was still warm from the cow. When her chickens slowed down on laying, she would add some chili powder and crushed shale to their feed and they would begin laying again. Chili powder gives them minerals that they need and makes them healthier. Shale goes to the gizzard and helps them grind their food better.

My brother you are on to something, I got off the store bought feed and feeding them table scraps. They started laying again but, when I gave my hens beef fat off of Hamburger meat I doubled my egg production. Just thought I'd share with you my friend!

[@bwaldners]

When I had chickens I never threw the cooking fat away. I always mixed it into their feed which I mixed up with hot water and let it stand. They get more nutrition out of it that wasy with the presoaking.

[@ooulalah4333]

Copy nature don't do this. I'd never feed an animal anything toxic. Phytohaemagglutinin occurs naturally in several kinds of raw beans, including broad beans, white kidney beans, and red kidney beans. This toxin causes gastroenteritis. This is ignorant advice. Well cooked leftovers are ok here and there. Forcing hens to survive on raw beans and whatever is just wrong.

Wow! I’m definitely going to give this a try!

[@normas371]

I did the same with my chickens. I heard PP didn't have the full 16% protein. Whether that was true or not, I know what has a ton of protein...beans! so I put pinto beans in my Foodie, aka Instapot, covered with water and cooked for 1 hour. The girls went crazy over it. Within 2 days they went from laying 2-4 eggs a day to 9-12. Yesterday I got 15 eggs! This will help offset the rising cost of feed. An FYI regarding raw uncooked beans... Beans (Dried or Raw) Black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans… any type of dry or raw bean is poisonous to chickens. Beans contain a compound called phytohaemagglutinin, which is highly toxic to chickens. As LeadFarmer73 said, cook those beans first!

Nothing is IN the feed. Some feed seems to be lower protein then listed. But no added toxins or anything. I have a video showing I feed PP 16% layer feed and kitchen scraps and get 7 eggs a day from my 11 hens. My comments section on that video is absolutely flooded with people that use PP and have had 0 egg issues. Only about 5% of people are experiencing an issue with the feed. It would be the opposite if they added things to prevent eggs. So the most logical answer so far is some of the mills received lower quality ingredients. Could have been a lower quality crop from the farmers. Could have been lower quality hops from the local brewer. Could have been cheaper soybean meal bought by the mill. But certainly, undeniably nothing being added to the feed.

[@roxannecarr8355]

I plan to start chickens again this year. I live in the woods with a lot of predators, so I cannot free range them. But, my coop does have a large, fenced-in yard. It is covered with heavy netting due to predator birds. The inside has tin all around waist high. However, with all this protection, something still dug in under the wooden coop floor. I believe it to be something in the weasel family, since it only took the heads. I have decided to only have chickens again after I pour a concrete floor. After saying all this, I wanted to add for those who cannot free range their birds. You can build a frame, cover it with 1/4” wire. Then start a garden of perennial greens. Put the frame over the garden to prevent the chickens from totally exhausting the ground and garden. However; they will give it natural fertilizer. Check it once in awhile to make sure it’s getting enough water. Once the garden was established, it lasted as long as I had chickens. You can purchase premixed, organic field seed for chickens. If you have a lot of birds, you could space several beds throughout the yard. It’s good for those of us who can’t do chicken tractors, or let our birds roam free. Blessings.

For chickens to lay eggs they need protein, so this is amazing. Also the more greens that you incorporate into their diet the darker orange, your yolk will become think about it all the eggs you buy from the store the yolk is yellow that’s because they’re not giving him no greens they’re just giving him grain the feed you’re doing an amazing job on your chickens look great❤

Try to give them dehydrated foods that has been soaked in water first. The dehydrated food will rehydrate in the stomach and cause it to burst. Plus, two/three days soaking will make more feed with fermentation. This will improves digestion for the birds. Sprouting dried beans is one the best foods for all your animals. @@bevami1

We have been sprouting rye (2 cups) and lentils (1 cup). Soaking 24 hours doubles the volume of the food. But we continue to sprout for a full week.

Plus, our ladies have not stopped laying all winter.

[@bmoss9604]

@@monehorman6744 You can use most whole grains and beans that you can buy from a grocery store. You are not cooking them, but soaking and sprouting. I use the ratio 1 cup of beans (usually lentils more bang for the buck) and 2 cups of whole grains (wheat berries, barley, rye, etc.). All these can be bought in small amounts at the grocery store. But you can get large bags of horse oats and field peas at the feed store ($15-20 for 50 pounds). These go dry and uncooked into a half gallon mason or sprouting jar. Fill with water and soak 12-24 hours larger beans may need the full 24, but lentils only need 12. The beans and grains will double in volume. Drain the water off and let sit in the jar with a sprouting lid or cheese cloth over the open jar. Rinse and drain every day for 3 days. They will sprout roots after 2 days and have 1/2 to 3/4 inch roots at 3 days. After 3 days tansfer them to a sprouting tray as if you were sprouting microgreens. We use stainless chaffing/catering pans with small holes drilled in the bottom to drain excess water, because they were free. Every morning they get sprayed with water and put on a shelf. After 1 -2 days in the tray, the greens will be about 1/2 inch. I continue to let them grow until the greens are like grass, usually a total of 7-8 days from first soak. So in a week, we grow a two sq ft lawn of grains, greens, and protein for our flock. It is perfect for us in upstate New York, where we have snow and frozen ground 4 months of the year. Plus it's a cheap natural supplement to their normal chicken feed.
