All Natural Chicken Feed Recipe!
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 08. 2024
- 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!

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 "
Season them from the inside out! Good idea 😅😂
😂
😂😂😂
I was Thinking The Same Sh!t🤣 This person Is A genius
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
Whats in the mix, can you post, please. Thanks!
@@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
What a fantastic idea!
Thank you! 😊
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
ain't commercial feed already balanced?
Thank you. Will get all
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.
Fodder is amazing and they love it! Check out the long form video on our page about the fodder we make for our flock
Dude made gourmet chicken feed. Added spices and all that good stuff for taste😂
Our birds are so spoiled! HAHA
Going to try this thanks! Could you guys make a video about protecting your chickens from hawks when they are free ranging?
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.
try putting an overhead net...
Thought this would end with one of them on a plate
I didn’t know chickens liked spicy stuff. Can they have bell peppers?
They LOVE bell peppers!
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
Now I just want to know the price comparison to mixing that often to a regular bag of chicken feed.
much more. Egg layer is near 14 plus tax at the local feed store
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
One things that needs to be added in these videos is where you get the items. I’ve yet to able to find any large bags of oats anywhere.
We found all of these ingredients at Sam’s Club, except for the bird seed. That was purchased at Tractor Supply.
Hope your birds enjoy it!
Internal seasoning. About it.
HAHAHA
❤
what are the clear bags?
Those are oats. They LOVE them!
Do chickens like crushed red peppers?? Is there any nutritional benefit for them to eat that?
They love it! Chickens can't taste heat and crushed red pepper is a natural dewormer
From what i heard makes their yolks oranger
I imagine it deters rodents too?
What all in the mix you make?
We have all the ingredients in the description. Check it out and give it a shot!
Happy chickens! What is all all this?
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
@@texastotable have you found this to keep your egg production up and possibly be a bit more cost effective for y'all?
@@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!
You season them afterwards….
HAHAHA
Red pepper flakes?
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!
I just can't trust in that bird food from market
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!
@@texastotable ok I will take a look
Whats the protien content percentage in this feed?
I didn't see what was in the bags added.... what is it?
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!
I can't seem to see the recipe can you tell me what's all in it
Where do you get your oats?
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.
I don’t see why you couldn’t feed this mix to quail. Give it to them in addition to your other feed and let us know how they like it
Those herbs costs more than buying the corn.
Well, this mix gives them a balanced meal where as corn is mainly just sugar. Personal preference
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 😂
@@stephenhanes8043 Mine are free-range, so they have an island diet of mosquitoes, biting flies and fiddler crabs. 😁
As of February 2024 has anyone priced wild birdseed? It is so expensive. I don’t know why but it is.
does this help pack on weight as well?
Our birds are chunksters, so yes! They have a balanced diet between foraging for worms, veggie/fruit scraps, and this feed
@@texastotable thanks for the quick response! already bought & mixed ingredients today!
What’s the full recipe for this chicken feed please?

@@texastotablethank you man 🙏🏻
I've heard parsley is toxic to chickens?
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
Why those spices ?
Chickens don't taste heat/spice and the red pepper is amazing as a dewormer for them
What are in the bags?
Those are bags of oats, the chickens LOVE them!
@@texastotable nice!
@@texastotable raw oats ok for chickens?
@@hepzlawrence7710 absolutely, they love them!
Can you ferment this mixture?
We havn't tried but I don't see why not. If you do, please let us know
Can you type this recipe please I can't see whats inside those bags. Thanks
Absolutely!

You've got yourself a new follower. Love your contact, God bless you your family and your farm.
what brand of oats is that?
These were just the Quaker bulk box from Sam’s but any oats are fine as long as they’re plain with no sugar or flavors. Your birds will love it
Ratio?
What age or stage can chicks eat this?
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
@@texastotable any suggestions on a more natural chick and grower feed beside crumbles?
@@cutie-44 worms and crickets would be the best natural option. Dried or live
@@texastotable thank you
Is this good for game fowl
Not sure, we only have chickens of multiple breeds but no other fowl
No ……
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
Our birds eat more than just this and they do great. We give them beef organs as well as wheatgrass. Healthiest flock I know of….
Wow that is some expensive feed. Terrible choice for background music too. Thumbs down!
So make your own video about how to make cheap chicken feed and pick your own music
мб еще креветок им туда покрошишь ёпта?
Absolutely- you can also use the shrimp shells
