Anyone else heard of this or have experience with it? Is it any good?



TIA,

I'm in east Texas, never have seen it here.

Who knew chickens were so much fun?

I believe it is made by Cargill.  My Agway has it, but I never tried it.

That's what I use. The chickens haven't complained. They just gave me 6 eggs for 6 chickens on 12 hours of light. The yolks are dark and the eggs are large. The only issue I have is that it's only 16% protein. I have mixed a bag of various seeds which bump up their protein intake a bit.

I just started feeding a bag of Nature Smart organic chick starter/grower (20% protein I think) to my chicks. They like it.

I mix my own feed, but for my chicks, I do feed crumbles.

More importantly, it passes the sniff test! Some of the feeds really smell BAD.
