Who uses Nutrena Nature wise Layer feed?

Date sort Score sort
Ok, I started my new chicks on the Purina cause I was at my local mill at the time. Later I went to Tractor Supply and they had Nutrena starter, so I got a bag of that for when the smaller bag of Purina runs out. They are all doing really well on the Purina ( even though I will NOT feed Purina anything to my dog, he gets Diamond Naturals). From reading these mixed reviews I am a little
apprehensive about when the Purina runs out and I
start feeding the Nutrena. Yikes.

Please note that most of these reviews are 3-8 years old. Feed producers, especially those that are larger companies, change their product over time. I was also looking for more information on this feed, but unless someone who uses it currently posts something regarding their experience, I'm going to steer clear of it. If you can find a local company, go with that.. the smaller, more localized feed companies have been more reliable in my own experience. Good luck Kate!!

I bought a bag of Nutrena Nature Wise Layer feed because the feed store I was at didn't have my regular Purina Layena Plus. The Nutrena had a very strong odor when I opened it. I Googled it and saw information on other posts where the company said it was normal to have a strong odor. Over the next week the odor continued to get stronger and stronger, smelling almost fermented. I could not SEE any mold in it but the smell was enough. I threw the bag away and changed back to my Purina Layena. My hens were previously and again doing great on the Purina. I will not purchase another bag of the Nutrena.
 
I have switched from the Nutrena to Nature's Best Organic Starter Grower because I want to get as far
away from GMO products as possible. The chicks were
doing fine on the Nutrena, but they don't seem to actually relish it. The Nature's Best is certified non GMO and it was 26.00 for 40lbs at Tractor Supply. I do not
notice any odor on the Nutrena other than a 'fruity' type of scent. My chooks are finishing up the Nutrena
now and I am looking forward to starting them on the non GMO food.
