Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole grain chicken feed
  • 2 cups scratch grains
  • 1/2 cup oyster shells or crushed egg shells
  • 1/2 cup whole flax seeds
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and put the shells on a baking sheet. Pop them into the oven to dry while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. You can do this while the oven is preheating.
  3. Stir the molasses and melted coconut oil into the eggs and set aside.
  4. Gather all the dry ingredients and combine them into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Remove the eggshells from the oven. Crush into small pieces and mix them into the rest of the dry ingredients.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  7. Divide the mixture into two oiled 8" round cake pans. (Use coconut oil, bacon fat or lard to coat the pans.)
  8. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
  9. Allow it to cool completely and then give it to your chickens to enjoy!
