Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole grain chicken feed
  • 2 cups scratch grains
  • 1/2 cup oyster shells or crushed egg shells

  • Stir the molasses and melted coconut oil into the eggs and set aside.
  • Gather all the dry ingredients and combine them into a large mixing bowl.
  • Remove the eggshells from the oven. Crush into small pieces and mix them into the rest of the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Divide the mixture into two oiled 8" round cake pans. (Use coconut oil, bacon fat or lard to coat the pans.)
  • Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
  • Allow it to cool completely and then give it to your chickens to enjoy!
