Hi, everyone. I'm still new to this; this is my first year with chickens. bought chicks five-ish months ago. I bought Rhode Island Red and Americana cross-breeds. I've been researching feeds for layers and I'm confused. Been trying to find a chicken feed that's not over $15 bucks per 50 lb. bag, but I don't want the super over processes stuff. I've been buying the starter feed from my local Co-Op and I'm going to change it to laying feed soon, (My roo's are crowing, so excited!!!) but I don't know if I should buy something better, maybe from TYC. I was wondering if anybody had a favorite feed or mix that's not over the $15 dollars a bag. Also, whats the deal with feeding them other stuff? Ex. Oats Corn (cat kibble?!?) oyster shells, egg shell, scratch and gravel. I'm (as you may be able to tell) very confused. Thanks for the support!
