Experiments show a wheatless diet can match or exceed wheat-based rations in egg production. A test pen of pullets averaged 28.5 eggs per hen in the second year with 17.5 eggs in March, while Buff Orpington pullets laid 58 eggs in 20 weeks on wheatless rations. Experts note beef scrap boosts protein and weight gain, enabling corn and oats as scratch alongside a 25 percent beef scrap mash.
Missouri agriculture expert explains that egg production hinges on balanced feed. A four pound hen laying 200 eggs yearly needs 70 to 80 pounds of feed, with a mix of whole and ground grains, bran shorts and cornmeal, plus dairy or beef-scrap supplements, and constant grit and oyster shell.

Experts warn diarrhea among newborn chicks causes the most losses in poultry. Adverse weather and improper handling after hatchling contribute, with symptoms including droopy eyes and vent discharge. An intestinal antiseptic copper sulfate solution is advised for ongoing use.
A practical egg producing ration combines grainy and ground seeds. Use equal weights of wheat and corn, or in winter twice as much corn as wheat.
