Hi, everyone, first time poster here. I currently have layer chickens (24) and ducks(6), a whole mix of different breeds and they’re all an integrated flock.

Ideally with feed costs I’m looking at most bang for my buck while also providing a not only sufficient, but very healthy and “happy” diet. These birds are both for production and pets so I’d still like them to enjoy what they eat. With that said, here are my (many) questions I’d like to draw everyone’s collective wisdom.

-what should make up their custom feed mix base, and what supplements should I use?
-what are the mixing ratios?
-what do you mix your feed in and how do you store it?
-do you use large feeders for less refills, throw the feed for scratch, or a mixture of both?
-Do any ingredients not work across different species? For example I have been told and read that red pepper flakes are great for chickens buck are they good for ducks?
-What supplements should I be adding to keep my flock healthy and happy?

Thank you everyone so much in advance I really appreciate it!
