I've been searching for a 16% protein feed with little or no calcium. It has to be crumbles because that is all my spoiled girls will eat. My hens are about 5 and are not laying as they once did so they don't need the extra calcium in the layer feed (they get oyster shells free-choice). I discovered Manna Pro makes an All Flock crumbles that is only 16% protein with 2% calcium. Has anyone used Manna Pro products and what has been your experience?
Also, why is it so expensive? An 8 lb bag sells for $13!!
We've been using Purina Flock Raiser since December, but I think the high protein content is causing my chickens to have looser, smellier poos. Especially the first poo of the day, which smells as bad as dog poop. I eliminated all treats and had a float test performed (negative for worms) but still the smelly poos continue. I'm hoping a lower protein feed will resolve this.
