What is a good soy free, corn free feed that is safe for roosters?

[Osbornek21]

Hello. I am having trouble finding a good soy free, corn free all Flock feed that is safe for roosters. We have two flocks and one rooster with each flock. We do have our hens on a soy, corn free layer feed but we need a good and healthy soy, corn free feed that is safe for roosters too. The hens and roosters have access to both foods all the time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And also any suggestions for a recipe to make at home is good too. Thank you in advance.

If you can get the same brand as chick feed and supplement with oyster shell for the girls that works.

Some people say they’ve never had issues with the roosters eating layer ration, but it does provide more calcium than chicks can handle and roosters don’t need as much of it. If you use the chick feed, it’s fine for everyone to eat regardless of age.

Exactly.

We feed Tucker Milling’s NatureCrest Layer. All of ours eat that except the call ducks. (Including geese & ducks; because we can’t separate that many! lol)
So far never had an issue with roosters, but your hens will eat all his food then eat theirs & leave him to eat theirs too. Lolol

We did chick feed for awhile & supplemented oyster but they made massive messes with the chick crumbles & egg production dropped, even though it was a higher protein feed.
