Mill Food Recycler for chickens

[chickenassistant]

We saw this product that you can put in your kitchen. It turns leftover food into food for chickens. But I wanted to know the opinion of the group here. I would use it with their layering feed and not as a primary food source.

The website claims... "Mill is the easiest, cleanest way to turn food scraps into shelf-stable food for . Save money. Save resources. Save time. And make your chickens happy."

Has anyone used something similar to this product or even this product with their chickens?

Thanks in advance!!

They say to add it to the feed or use it to make your own feed.

What a scam of a claim for a product that cost more than $800! They suggest that you feed the "dried grounds" from your left overs (not compost) at a rate of 5% total daily intake.. in my opinion.. you'd be better off and save $ by feeding leftover directly to your birds.. but here's the link with how they're suggesting you use it..

It would be a hard PASS for myself.

Still, fun (and funny) to see the products being marketed to my fellow poultry keepers!

Yes, unless you really need to store your leftovers for feeding chickens long term (and don't own a dehydrator or a freezer)...well, this still wouldn't make sense at $800.

Just feed your leftovers and food scraps directly to the chickens....no processing required.
