I do not have chickens but make a scratch mix that is made up of wheat berries, cracked corn, and rye berries. Its a simple by product of what I am milling for human consumption. I sell it to backyard chicken owners that only need a couple pounds at a time. Right now I charge .50 a pound. Its sold to folks IN Cincinnati all grains are grown and milled inside the I-275 loop. So its pretty darn local, even if not well rounded. Its a fairly nice winter scratch mix I think/..maybe not. I do not have chickens but have not had any complaints. I have to go to market now, but I can tell you that handling and harvesting are the biggest issues. I'll be more than happy to go into how we are tackling it. I would be curious to hear more on what chicken owners on this forum are looking for. Cheers! Richard Stewart Carriage House Farm North Bend, Ohio An Ohio Century Farm Est. 1855 (513) 967-1106 |
