For some time now I've been mixing a bag of flock raiser 20% with 2 bags of Nutrena feather fixer 18% (free ranging also) and have had very good results. Eggs, hens, and rooster look great.

I get around this by feeding all flock crumble instead of pellets, so everybody can eat it. I have a zero waste feeder (waste is usually pointed out as the one advantage of pellets over crumble) so I really have no reason to use pellets.The only exception is needing grower crumble when I bring in new chicks until they are large enough to share the pellets.
