Wow.....I won't feed purina as I prefer animal protien in my chicken's feed, but flock raiser here is $12.99 for 50lbs

Layena is $10.99 and the start n grow is $12.99.

Not so. I buy Purina Flock Raiser pellets. Who ever told you that is incorrect.

Purina Flock Raiser has 20% protien. Layena has more protien than that?

Sorry didn't catch "animal protien". May I ask what you feed and how much it is?

I can get flock raiser and layena both in crumbles or pellets for $9.99 a 50 lb bag.

I'm going to cut and paste this and email it to my feed store(if I can find the address) and ask them what's going on. How come we're getting beat over the head with feed prices?

Do you see a difference with the flock raiser versus the laying feed? Not to hijack the thread, but ....................

I feed Nutrena and HiPro. Purina (layena, flock raiser, start n grow) is a vegetarian feed, using only plant protiens and no animal protien. Chickens are not vegetarians and I believe animal protien is good for them.

Nutrena Layer is $9.99 at my feed store, nutrena starter is $10.99. The HiPro is a game bird feed and is more expensive.

Crumble is the only way I've seen it.

Can your feeder be adjusted? If you can narrow the gap between the bottom of the tube and the floor of the pan the crumble won't come out so fast.

.....Alan.

It actually comes in a pellet in some parts of the country, but not all.​
