Are you tired of struggling to understand poultry nutrition for your flock? We've got your back! We sat down with Jeff Maddox, a poultry nutritionist with 26 years of experience, who shared his invaluable insights on reading feed tags, avoiding byproducts, and choosing the right feed for your birds. Plus, Jeff offers his expertise on breed stock and culling strategies to help you manage your flock more effectively.

In our conversation with Jeff, we uncovered the importance of culling 75-50% of your birds annually and the emotional challenges that come with it. Timing hatches correctly and potentially selling excess birds to the backyard chicken market are also key to maintaining a flock. As we dive into the different stages of poultry development, Jeff shares crucial information on the nutritional needs for each stage, including the right amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, lysine, and methionine.
