Has anyone ever used pelleted chicken feed in a protein deer feeder? 16% layer feed is cheaper than feed designed for deer.

I had a bag of 18% the chickens did not like the change of feed and brand so ended up feeding it to the deer out back. After a couple days they started cleaning it up
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Will they eat it? Yes. Will it do what you want it to do? Probably not since the price I found online was for a 40# bag and it was $12.79 which equates to $15.99 for 50 lbs. It might work as an attractant but you would be better off relying on rainfall than feeding a high priced chicken feed to deer. I bought Purina Antler Advantage 20% deer pellets for $12.95 per 50lb bag yesterday. It has a mineral package developed for whitetail deer and not a chicken.

Just let us know if the bucks start bobbing their heads and clucking as they approach the feeder! I think I will stay with my deer protein & C/Seed. Frio

Perhaps a case where focusing on protein content might not be the best approach, in the big picture.

Wish I could find $12.95 Purina protein around here. Great price.
