![Make Your Own Cheap Chicken Feed - [The Proven System That ALWAYS Works]](/img/n.gif)
I am a physicist currently living in Chile. I am starting a poultry farm and am learning a lot from you. Thank you!
One set compost tank can handle about 10tons fresh chicken manure every day(moisture content:60%-70%) and from the 8th day on, will discharge 3-4tons high quality organic fertilizer every day(moisture content: about 30%)
What did you learn from this blogger? This man is losing money big way on farming. Without income from UA-cam he would packed it up long time ago. He is great talker/blogger, but his farming is nothing. In my estimate he may be earning about 1000$ a day from the UA-cam.
There are far better web sites if you want to learn about farming.
@@jankoss6429 So why are you on his channel? I wonder why you can shut your mouth.
Keep going 🌹❤️

The cheapest way we grind and mix it here in Thailand is banana tree trunk and very little rice. It works for for both chicken and ducks and the production is amazingly higher than commercial chicken feed. If I don't find another video about it, maybe I'll make an instruction video
Kindly provide with me procedure of banana tree trunk and rice as a chicken feed.
Can you please explain to us the procedure on how to make it,or you make a video then share the link kindly
@@johnmuimi2421 I just stumbled upon a video. ua-cam.com/video/TfpJjc-CFqw/v-deo.html
It's not exactly the way we do it but that's the general idea
@@jon_s wow!I have just watched it, thank you for sharing the link🙏I have just learned something new💯
Too much talk away from what you intend to do,boring,,,
Hi Doc. Eagerly awaiting the results of how you get on with this experiment. I did this with my layers. I started free ranging them for 4/5 hours a day. I’m now only using 30% of the feed I used to use. Egg production has not decreased. In fact yolks are deeper orange in colour from them eating more greens. Hens seem happier also. Hope you have good results also. Good luck doc. Keep up the great work.
Wow. Lots of encouragement here. Viva💪🏼
@@FarmUp please can reply to my messages,thanks for everything.
Nice Doc ! I do the same here, free range and veggies, compost food scrapes. And I use 0 commercial feed for 5000 broilers.
They love free ranging and don’t even pay me any attention. That’s when you know it’s working. When they leave you alone, they not hungry and they very happy
@@Ceodayone that's what I'm talking about! I too will be raising free range broilers
@@Ceodayone How long does it take you to raise them to market size.
I'm in philadelphia but from Trinidad and Tobago and I'm returning home to do a chicken business your show is so informative
Thank you. I'm hopeful you'll make it
I wish you much success. When are you returning home? I have friends and family in Philadelphia. It would be great if you could share a kind word with them about chicken farming and why you are returning home to start a chicken business. I think they will have more respect for the business if they hear if from someone outside of their familiar circle. Get in touch with me at hello#tarawiselove-com (replace # with @ and - with a dot) and maybe if you are available tomorrow, you can meet them for a few minutes if you are still in Philly.
@@tarawiselove ok for sure just let me know when you want me to meet them

Ferment your grain or sprout your grain for tremendous savings
What grains do I ferment?
I am happy for your success I couldn’t get anyone around me to buy my large brown eggs so I now give them to the elderly at church maybe that’s what God needed me to do and I am ok with that .
Lord Jesus because Danielle help the elderly give them the eggs Lord supply all he's needs Lord I pray Blessings and more Blessings upon he Business en he's life in Jesus name.All the Glory to God.amen.
bro, i'm not god or anything, but i bless you for what you have done. Please don't stop, i know thing may be tough, but you never know whose family you saved when you do that. You never know how what you consider to be little can be so major for others.

Doctor Daniel! Love the video I’m a black poultry farmer in the USA
he beats around the bush, 9:00 is what you are looking for
Thank you
Thanks man
If the feed companies did not exist until maybe 200 years ago or less then how did the chickens eat?
The chicken came before the feed companies. Yah gave each chicken the knowledge to forage for food.
The chicken crossed the road for food not to be fed by a feed company.
Love the video.
Good point.
Facts
How many chickens were lost to predators?This is a problem for the free rangers
@@ritabeitz9598 my chickens free range I just open The Coop and let them free in the morning and then they put themselves up and I'll close it sometime that evening the ducks kind of a party animal so it will hang out but I have two pitbulls that are outside frequently during the day and then I am outside during the day quite a bit... Really having them good places to run under like I keep several places for them to be able to run over and hide under...
Keep a slingshot around for the Hawks because most areas it's illegal to kill them so you just want to shew them away in kind of an aggressive manner...
Where I'm at luckily hasn't had much foot traffic predators we had a dog run in the yard once before I got the fences completely up but it did not hurt the chickens but only scared them and then there was a raccoon for a very short time trying to move in in the woods next door but a few traps got rid of him...
Always recommend if you're going to relocate a raccoon try to do it across water cross a bridge or something of that effect otherwise for certain take it a good distance and when you let it out it might be excited but most of the time they just want to get away...
I will say having a dog that hangs out with them is probably your a number one deterrent and get a secure coop for them to sleep in and that should be the real extent of any real problems

Love your videos! Stay at home mom here in the US just getting started with homesteading. I've gleaned a lot of info from your videos on how to care for our 20 chickens more efficiently. I love the idea of growing your own chicken feed. Can't wait to see how you do and learn from your experiences.
I've also been watching another homesteader here in the US, (i think her UA-cam channel is called Chickenlandia, if I remember correctly), that uses fodder and also ferments some of her feed. Not sure if you could do this on your large production farm, but it might be worth checking out if you get a chance.
Thank you for your videos and the hard work and useful info you put into them. Those of us just getting started really rely on and appreciate the knowledge from experienced farmers like yourself!
Thanks Campbell. I'm very excited about this phase of the farm. I believe it will work out greatly. I'll share with you soon.
Kind regards
It's about getting local materials for very cheap and handle them. Ex. edible Leaves (papaya, casava, vegatables, moringga, etc.) A way is to dry them out of the sun, them crumble them. Cooking stuffs, left overs, leaves, banana skins, etc. Left overs from industries, coconut, rice husks.
You have to think about the protein, energy, Vit content. And mix it with the usual stuff.
I recommend you also look at growing Crickets for feeding to your chickens. This will give them the protein they need along with the grain you are growing. Crickets are very very cheap to grow.
I’ve seen people also use maggot farms and work farms to feed. My chickens live picking all of the worms from my compost pile
How are they being produced Mr. Danny?
Can crickets take over/become invasive? How do you control the cricket population?
@@prisoner_of_hope8386 Try meal worms
How would you go about feeding them to your birds? Would you freeze dry, or just put them in their coops etc. Also, do you know of any good cricket raising UA-cam videos? Thank you very much
Great channel! I'm from Brasil, internet is awsome.
How much do you need to tarting
Your energy is wonderful. I'm going to raise chickens one day. Learning from you and people like you is what I want. Thank you.
I feel like I sat on the table to eat but the meal hasn't arrived yet...
Haha. It will arrive
Same to me. Plz Doc. Show us how....we long to know it.

@@mustafalugenge1650 so true still waiting the heading to be aired waste of time
I heard a interesting idea for chicken feed.
Maggots.
You need something that calls flies to lay eggs that the chickens can not get to product but can get maggots after they hatch and before they become flies
Once you figure it out you have a revolving feed source. Just add product as needed.
Have not yet tried this idea. But it sounds great to me.
Had maggots under bedding of waterer in with my ducks. Threw the maggot filled bedding into my outdoor pen and my hens devoured it.
People build mobile chicken coops which they use to follow cows on the pasture. Best would be day 4 after the cows. On day 5 the maggots become flies. They will eat the maggots and any other insects they can find.
You are an amazing young man Doctor.May the Lord continue blessing you for your selflessness and passion to help others.
I'm so interested in knowing what your personality type is. Good luck with the farm Dr
Thank u for sharing I'm learning in UA-cam thankz million times utube 😻🌹💖☀️🌞 Bzness for ol👍
Hello, am a stay home mom and I am always have a pássion in poultry farming but I don't know how I can start it, PLEASE HELP
Hey I'm out in Hawaii and I homestead a bit. Starting compost piles are an effective way to feed chickens without having to spend money. They can produce a lot of bugs for chickens and it can be sold as enriched soil later or used to grow food on the farm to produce vegetables, feed, and produce more compost. I just started doing in for about 2 years and cut my feed use by 75%. They eat all that I grow and spend the day shifting through the compost. I grow bananas, papayas, and several varieties of vegetables. So far very good results. Getting to 100% will be easier if I was retired and was in better health.
Remember to stick to your heading
Thank you for all that you are doing. I have been doing something similar to reduce my feed costs. I aligned with a local pantry to take the food that is no longer good for human consumption, and feed it to my flock. They don’t eat everything, they are selective, and what they don’t eat right away will compost, and they will eat this composting food and all the insects that it brings. Spoiler alert, this is a lot of work to haul the food, but it is still far cheaper to do this than to feed straight chicken feed. Since I have been doing this, 3 years running, my birds are doing very well. It is a win win for my homestead. It will take some research to find pantries that will cooperate with you in this endeavor, but worth the time and effort. God bless you. Keep making these informative videos.

Mr. Genes Homestead
Add some red pepper flakes or powder to your chicken feed (not lots but a cup or two per bucket full) and watch those egg numbers go up…much better than the chemicals added to those feeds to make the chickens lay 😉
I am watching you from Atlanta Georgia, USA. You’re the best. Thank you so much for the Education about Poultry farming. I have just started watching your channel and I am loving everything about it. I eagle to learn more from you.
I have just started with quail I slaughtered my 3rd one today
You're simply the best with a heart of gold keep it up God bless you in Jesus mighty name Amen .
Thank you Daniel, am frm South Africa and I am 73years of age .you won't believe this.I've watched ur videos with my grand children, and are now putting up a structure for egg layers. Thanks for ur inspiration and tutorial
Hi there, I'm also in SA how's it going with your layer business?

Very cool video bro, starting a farm soon in Nigeria, this was very helpful
Mostly since you're going to be in his region you should be planning a trip to visit him and his farming.
Not to mention Independence and not having to depend on the government for anything no matter how you want to cut it up government is socialism.!
Now how long has it been with us? What a silly question.. ain't it......

Hey Doc. Big up from Jamaica. Good work my brother
My chickens run towards table scraps & fresh grass clumps I’ve dug up & collected for them faster than any feed out there. I plan on growing stands of clover & alfalfa for them for next year
My wife comes from a small village on a small Island in a mangrove in the Philippines. The food garbage in collected from each house daily and boiled and fed to the pigs they are raising for fiesta. Then what the pigs do not eat and other plant matter are buried and covered with coconut leaves to keep the soil moist. This is where the chicken eat digging up worms and bugs. And in the evening they grind up some cassava and call the chicken back to their coop to keep them safe. This is what I saw as I stayed there for three months. The chickens also ate bugs under the trees or huts.
I am a structural engineer and doctor Daniel you have inspired me to get into farming. big Up to you brother....
It's very possible you get an absolute profit by zero feeding cost
All it needs is your time, brilliant ideas and some experiments
Keep up the good work
Already have tonnes of ideas about this, though not putting it into practice yet 😁😁😁
God bless
What ideas might they be?
With your vision-soon your going to be a millionaire your young studied with good job also hard working in the future you are going to be very rich and you will have more lands than you can imagine
Huge info..starting very soon I your experience in this farming is wow.will contact you soon from Botswana
.
Thank you for sharing. I have been feeding my birds from my garden this past few weeks I have been freezing scraps in one gallon bags for winter. Chickens do not care if it thaws a bit mushy.
Make a video on Chicken Diseases...
I just let mine free range and threw out kitchen scraps. At first I spent heaps on grain but then someone told me I didn't need to. Sprouts and fermented foods are great too.
Im stuck on this fermented food...how do yu go about it
Or you just dip grain in water and wait for a while
Hi , I’ve listened to lots of videos on poultry, yours is quite inspirational and your energy is positively infectious. Keep it up. Am learning a lot
I’m following your videos from Kentucky! I’m starting my first chicken coop this spring and it’s videos like yours that help me be better prepared! Thanks!!!!
Hhhh you may have a demand from KFC HHH
My autistic daughter is currently embarking on her own poultry farm. She's always loved chickens. With limited income reducing the cost of feed will really help. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
You litterly said nothing about the feed just piece of land and grow it yourself ,duh but what do you grow how much protein does it have ect
When you have a decrease in egg production and you are mixing your own feed you need to ask yourself what are the chickens lacking in nutrition. It sounds like protein maybe. I would not discount making your own feed. I would make my own and add supplements to make sure they are getting the vitamins and supplements they need . sprout your feed ( saves 30%, more nutrition and you hall less water) make maggot traps to feed them almost free. Start a compost pile. and so on.
I'm inspired @ South Africa
I recently found your channel,I love it!
Your very inspiring and I love your energy! Thank you for posting such informative videos 🥰
Thank you
I love the energy and joy you put into your work
I’m eager to learn and start
I'm so happy watching this, I'm Nigerian and I have a thing for farming but didn't know how to start but I can proudly say your UA-cam videos has helped me a lot in knowing what I truly need to start up mine, thank you so much 👊🏽👏
Hi Doctor, In USA here, retired Registered Respiratory Therapist here. I only have 14 layers, but want to save money on feed. My chickens love to catch insects! I followed one around one evening. She
ate 45 insects in 5 minutes! Thanks for the nice information!
My friend in Uganda is trying to raise chickens for eggs for their orphanage. She watches your videos as well!
Oh wow. Beautiful. We shall sure manage to cut the costs further
Sound interesting
Your amazing and so full of charisma I just like watching you! Thanks for the tips and hope to keep seeing more of you! Worlds getting scary over here I pray you are fairing much better xoxo
I only had small flocks of chickens. I allowed them to roam free in the summer and forage for their food. This meant they needed a lot less grain. I also gave them all vegetable scraps we made from cooking our food, like potato peels and apple cores. The chickens went nuts for that bucket of scraps every day; they love fresh vegetable scraps.
Wow
Potato peels are not good for chickens
@@midblackwinter6641 why ?
They also love cat and dogfood, wet and dry
Potatoes peels are poisonous
All the way from Namibia.. u inspire me in my farming
Pls u supply the day old layers or the eggs,bescus i need the chicks and not the eggs can u help pls..
Eggs
Eagerly waiting to SMASH the like button on the next video
😅Nice one
Watching from Helmand province(but Am a Ugandan) it's Awesome poultry farm
Where is helmand province and what are you doing there? Just curious.
I raise laying hens on leased grassland in a mobile coop, but I depend on commercial feeds. An older and much smarter farmer than me in my area feeds briolers on grains he grows after they are out of the brooder. Every day he mows 1 day of feed, and moves them onto the area in a mobile shelter with electric poultry net.
U can use grated dry coconut..to stretch feed. Also grow aloe vera plant lots and lots and purchase molasses and put in their drinking water. This cleans then naturally and makes them drink lots and lots of water. This plumps up the chicken. Also lime stone spread in the coop makes them pick at the stones which have calcium making the egg shell hard. This is what they do in Jamaica. Also we have a water grass that the chickens love.
Love from India
Awesome 👍 *But Doc you have lot of greenery & around... let the chickens out on it... they eat grass too... and the feed requirements will be even much lower.* Call them in sunset with some feed that's it. Also they will keep the vegetables garden healthy by eating the worms on the vegetables plants. If you cannot let them free then put them in "chicken tractors" like in Joel Salatin's video.
This is the first video of yours that I've found. I love it!!
Bravo to this Way It's Brilliant.!!
My definition of making my own feed is literally making & growing my own things to make my own chicken feed. This is the organic & cheaper way. Buying & mixing your own feed is hit or mis. Depending on the market at that time. Great info 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Very true.
Wishing you all the success...greetings from subtropical Australia...
I love u man. From south africa

Soldier flies larvae. 💪
How do you this??
Hello . I live in Kenya. I am very much interested in poultry farming. Thanks for this info.
I am a retired nurse very passionate about poultry
Damn! 30 eggs for $1? That is incredibly cheap, I sell fertilized eggs for $2 each or a dozen for $20. When they get sold for eating its $8/dozen. Our organic no corn/no soy feed is more expensive $0.42/lb or $0.92/kg, but obviously the profit is higher.
You can use food leftovers or something dead and put it in a bucket and let the flies lay there eggs on it to turn into Maggots let them fall into a container so the chickens can have free food
Absolutely brilliant idea... Free protein
Well done

What do you mean by 20% quality feeds?
Oh yes. I'm on the route to that. Slowly by slowly
@@eduudo9857 what i mean is instead of using 100% quality feeds you can substitute it with your own farmed foods. Mostly 80% farmed foods + 20% quality feeds from your local market.

Hi Doc, I live in a very dry and hot area of the US. I have started to ferment my feed which has drastically reduced my feed cost as well as increased the overall health of my birds. My egg production has remained stable during the hot months. It's quite simple and just mix your feed in a container with some water and let ferment for three days. I stir once a day and on day three drain off the water and my birds love it. I have reduced my feed by over 40%.
Wow. Going to try it
I do the same. My birds love it and there is no waste. I also free range my birds and feed them lots of weeds and extra from the garden. We grow extra for the chickens.
Over 3/4of video was nothing to do with feed and super aggravating.....GET TO THE POINT!!!!!@
I'm going to share some ideas here, you can combine things, pasture feeding, compost feeding set up worm farms, put some in pasture feed some worms back to chickens... Grow perrenial cabbages that you can use for feed and home use. Grow chokoes on the chicken farm structure... And also fermented grains, collect urine to increase pasture production. Worm farms can also feed in some of the chicken manure.... Sell chicken manure to farmers in the area.
Keep all chicken waste even the feathers
I want to learn about worm feed
@@hemangalex786 type worm farms into you tube search. Also worms have high protein content, you could feed them live if you have plenty or if it's viable process and dry them. You can also sell worms to others. They are very good for using up household food and scrap waste, they produce liquid that can be used to fertilise soil and change soil structure as well as droppings which when mixed with soil makes the nutrients in the soil more available to plants.
@@mrzoukdotcomzouklambadaboo8212 interesting. Please come in more with your good discoveries. Thanks a million.
@@loliadanee8467 I forgot this one, fly larvae, I used to work on a chicken farm, but thought they are wasting alot of resources, I hope to get some chickens at home soon.... So get a bucket and make some holes at the bottom only small enough for fly larvae to crawl out of. First you get some rotten food or fish guts, and let the flies come and lay eggs, after a few days you put a lid on top and hang the bucket up high with the chickens as the larvae grow they will try to crawl out of bucket. When they find the holes they will fall out and your chickens will eat them, that is more protein for them.
