Ive always fed mine a mixture (I mix it in a great big plastic bin) of layers pellets, grain, and crushed dried sweetcorn. Ive always had good results, and great egg production, even during winter. I add crushed oyster shell perhaps once or twice a week, just to keep the shells hard. The yolks of my girlies eggs have always been a great orange colour, I think its due to the dried maize.
