Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Gives me several options to look for. Once I get dinner for 20 over with this weekend i'm going to go haunt a few feed mills and see what I can find. I really don't want to switch to layer just yet as my 3 old girls will shut down laying anytime now to winter (already slowed to a crawl lol) and my youngest still have teeny little vents and nowhere near showing laying signs. Appreciate everyone's willingness to chime in :)

I bought this protein feed and made my own mix for a while but the chickens would dig out the grain and most of the protein crumbs wound up on the ground.

Lol I could totally see my spoiled brats doing that. I spilled a bag of BOSS in the coop the other day while dumping it into a bin...cleaned up as much as I could but it was mixed up with floor shavings so left a bunch for them to clean up. They scratched 1/2 the shavings right out of the coop to find every last seed!
