What to do with leftover layer feed?

We had our hens on layer feed for a year, and this year's pullets on grower. We also have a rooster now.

The feeder with the layer feed is inside the big hen coop, next to the nesting boxes. I haven't had to refill it in weeks - it appears they've all decided they prefer the grower feed instead. This is fine, they have access to oyster and egg shells besides insects they find.

Question is - what do I do with the leftover feed? There's about half a gallon in the coop feeder, and about half of a 50lb bag. I could toss it into the forest for rodents to eat, but I don't want random rodents to suffer from an excess of calcium.

Mix grower into the layer feed. Maybe you can trick them.

I would just toss a handful down to your layers daily before you fill the feeders. You know how chickens are when they think they are getting a treat, ravenous buggers

I'd make a wet mash or ferment it for your layers. That's how I use up leftover feed. They'll think you're giving them a treat
