[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1121645, member: 6897"] A high quality Turkey/Gamebird feed is great for raising chicks. You're adding the corn dilutes the protein down to about 18% mixture which is what a lot of companies formulate their complete lay ration at. But adding the corn also dilutes all the vitamin and mineral levels by 50%. Might check for a vitamin/mineral supplement that can be added to the drinking water. A bit pricey but if you could add some corn gluten meal (not CG Feed) to the mix it would really turn the egg yolks from light yellow to gold !!! But bugs will do that as well. All good chicken feed contains a high percentage of corn. Seldom hurts a thing. Most feather loss is caused by parasites or before a hen is about ready to begin to incubate eggs. Diatomaceous earth is good for the parasite control. [/QUOTE]
