Can anyone tell me what the ingredients of Flockmaster are?  We feed this to our sheep but have some residue which is quite fine, and wondered if we could give this as feed to the chickens.  I have tried googling it, but no result.  The bags don't show information regarding this.
Thank you.

Maybe try the manufacturer:

Plus, if you produce anything that enters the food chain, the answer will, I am pretty sure, be no.  It is not permitted to feed food produced for one species to another, and farm inspections may wish to see proof that all feeds are stored in a way to ensure that this does not happen either by accident or design.

Thank you for your advice and help.

Any sheep feed (or any ruminant feed for that matter)  is likely to be much higher in fibre than a specified poultry feed. This is because poultry and ruminants have a completely different method of digesting food. Yes you may feed it to poultry. It won't do them any harm; but it won't be as nutritious as a designated poultry feed because poultry cannot digest the fibre as efficiently as a ruminant can.


Can you not add a small amount of cod liver oil or molasses to the fine residue, so it sticks to the rest and the sheep eat the lot?


Apart from that - the bags must by law state the ingredients. Have a look at an unopened bag and there should be a label on it, which maybe gets thrown away when you open the bag.
