You said it Debbie- we too buy our feed from a local feed mill that has been in business for about 75 years. They sell only livestock feed. My son swears saw a difference in our hens within a week of changing to the locally milled feed. The hens looked better, layed better and the difference in the way the actual feed looks is amazing - you can actually see the different kinds of grain in it - it doesn't look like the grey crumbly. This mill is locally owned and has been serving our agricultural community for a long time and they have relationships with farmers here that go back generations. The trust element is what is missing whenever you buy commercial products.
Here is there chicken feed selection:
| 20% Lay Pellets or Crumbles | A high protein mix well suited for meat bird production, growing pullets, molting season, or mixing 50/50 with grains to make a 16% protein mix. | 80 lb sacks |
| 16% Lay Pellets or Crumbles | A complete layer diet in a homogenized and consistent form. | 50 & 80 lb sacks |
| 16% Cage Mix | Also know as Laying Mash. An all time favorite with oyster shell included. | 50 & 80 lb sacks |
| 20% Baby Chick Mash | For feeding baby chicks, turkey poults, or ducklings until full feathered. | 50 & 80 lb sacks |
| Growing Chick Grains | A finely ground scratch grains fro young birds or wild bird feeding. | 50 lb sacks |
