How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] Why not Purina

Anita, sometimes the feed mills will special order feeds. Contact the one by you and see if they will. I have lots of friends who live by mills and they special order their feeds and they love it! They say that the mills will add or subtract anything they want them to.

Good luck!

There is one feed mill and one Tractor Supply close by, but they all
give Purena type feeds. There is a feed mill in Bethel, that is over
half an hour away from home, that will make its own feed, and I think I
will switch to that for the winter. Bad thing is that it is powdery and
has a little more ground corn that I am comfortable with. But fifty
pounds of it is less than fifty pounds of Purena. I may "dress it up"
with bird seed and Black Oil Sunflower Seed.

I have thought about Sweet Feed, but I worry about it spoiling.

Good to have you back, Cathryn!!!
