Wheat makes excellent poultry feed with careful balance
County Agent Max O. Naylor notes wheat is a good feed for chickens and turkeys but must be balanced against other grains. Ground whole wheat can replace bran and middlings in chick and layer rations, with oats or bran providing bulk. Do not replace both oats and bran with wheat in one mix. Limit wheat to about 40 percent of the ration to avoid poor growth. Shrunken wheat may boost protein and results.
