FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!! - Page 695

I'm out here in Jacksonville, Florida so welcome!

I do have a question: 

Where do you purchase your organic chicken feeds? I'm looking, but it doesn't look like I can find any without ordering online which is just a tad bit painful! Closest is Gainesville which is a 2.5 hour drive! 

I know most local feed stores will order it for you, but it is pricey to say the least. I will be watching the replies you get on your question in hopes someone has a great source for organic feed.

None of my feed stores carry organic anything, so they aren't going to be ordering any. The closest I can find is "All-Natural" feed. I will only have 6 chickens so I guess the 50lbs would last me awhile, but it'd still be better if I could find it cheaper locally in case something happened like ants or such.

Just posted an ad on Craiglist, so we'll see the hits I get.

Welcome!!! Not sure about the organic feed, but I would suggest that you look for a local feed mill. There is sure to be one close, and they might be able to help. .stan

Welcome from your Manatee county neighbor!! ..........stan
 

Just an idea but maybe you could find a recipe for making your own feed on this site if you don't have too many birds.
