Personally - If the goal was to save money, I'd just use the ground corn as an extender of store bought poultry feed.
It's hard to beat the mix from a bag - it's got evertyhing they need in there.
Adding the corn will make the grain go further. Obviously it won't be as nutritious, but as long as you keep the ratio reasonable they'll do alright.
Unless you're growing a variety of grains yourself, buying the grains and trying to mix it yourself is just going to ultimately cost you about the same as the poultry feed itself.
You just lose the benefit of having experts who know what they're doing mix it in optimal proportions.
Of course - if cost doesn't matter, adn the purpose is to have fun mixing your own feed - that's quite different.
