Hi ya'll! I made another dry mix for the flock! Please share your opinions on it 
INGREDIENTS:
Grains:
Hulled buckwheat 1/3 cup
White quinoa 1/3 cup
Pearl barley 1/3 cup(barley that has been slightly polished, all I could find, it's really similar to normal barley. Edit: I accidentally said buckwheat here not barley)
Rolled oats 1/3 cup
Seed:
Pumpkin seed 1/3 cup
Sesame seed 1/3 cup
Chia seed 1/3 cup
Flax seed 1/3 cup
Nuts:
Raw cashew approximately 1 tbsp
Raw almond approximately 1 tbsp
Pine nut approximately 1 tbsp
(Nuts are a minor part due to high fat content. It's still really healthy though)
Others:
Herb mix 2-3 tbsp(alfalfa, comfrey, oats, rosemary, ginseng, cayenne, sutherlandia)
Flowers 2-3 tbsp(marigold, rose hips, hibiscus, red clover, blue cornflowers)
I tried to use not mostly one thing for as much variety as possible. This mix includes 4 grains+ 4 seed+ 3 nuts+ 6 herbs+ 5 flowers or 22 ingredients

Grains (buckwheat, barley, white quinoa and oats)

Seeds(pumpkin(chopped to help the little beaks eat it), sesame, flaxseed, chia)

Nuts(pine, cashew, almond, all this was chopped for the birdies because of their little beaks)
Flower mix
(I didn't take a pic of the herbs because I forgot to and now I'm too tired/lazy to)
End result:
I am satisfied with it
