Grain-dust workshop · free-range mill
Offline ration workbench for backyard keepers and small free-range growers: hit protein, calcium, and energy targets live, scale to bag or bird-days, then walk out with a mill ticket and shopping BOM.
On-device desk
Define segments by bird class and headcount, pull corn, soy, oats, limestone, oyster shell, and premix from a seeded pantry, and watch crude protein, calcium, and metabolizable energy land against class targets before you fill the bin.
Practical tools for mash and pellet formulas—live targets, honest scaling, and a ticket you can take to the scoop sheet.
01 · Segments
Name groups by class and headcount—chicks, growers, layers, broiler finishers, dual-purpose adults, waterfowl—each with its own nutrient bands and daily intake for honest scaling.
02 · Pantry
Whole and cracked corn, soybean meal, oats, midds, alfalfa, fish meal, limestone, oyster shell, grit, oil, salt, premix—protein, Ca, ME, fat, fiber, and optional unit cost. Add your own lines.
03 · Mixer
Drop ingredients as % or weight; bars and totals track protein, calcium, and energy vs the selected class. One-tap normalize-to-100% and lock-carrier so the cereal base absorbs the rest.
04 · Scale
Turn a formula into exact pounds or kilos per ingredient for a target bag or N days of flock use (headcount × intake)—ready for the scoop sheet.
05 · Ticket
Print or share mix order, inclusions, scaled weights, and target summary. Subtract on-hand pantry stock and list only what to purchase, with line costs when prices are filled.
06 · Library
Save, tag, and duplicate rations; compare two formulas on finished-pound and bird-day cost. Pin an active formula to WidgetKit; jump in via App Intents—no stubs.

FlockMill Ration Desk is the feed-mixing station homesteaders actually needed—not another hatch calendar or coop sketch pad. Define flock segments by bird class and headcount, pull from a seeded pantry of corn, soy, oats, limestone, oyster shell, premix, and more, and compose rations on a mixer board that shows crude protein, calcium, and metabolizable energy against class targets in real time. Normalize to 100%, lock carriers like limestone or premix, scale any formula to a 50 lb bag or a week of flock consumption, compare cost per bird-day across saved recipes, and export a mill-ticket mixing card plus a buy-only shopping list. Six bird-class bands and starter formulas make session one useful with zero accounts and zero network—everything stays in on-device storage until you share a PDF to the garage whiteboard.
