Is this mold?

We had been giving the flock locally milled GMO free/antibiotic free feed but with the pandemic they had cut back supply and anyways, I got some at TSC instead.
As I was dumping the Bag of food container into the Container, I saw a few chunks fall in the bottom but at the time (yesterday) it was dark and I figured it was just clumps of food that had sat on the bottom of the bag and got hardened up.
Today while I was refilling, I saw that the chunks had green on them and I’m pretty sure it’s mold

What do I do about it? I bought 3 bags #50 each and have dumped a full bag into 2 feeders (1 bag each). Return all 3 bags? I should take all of their food away, right?

Yeah....
 
Yes it's mold. Call the supplier and tell them your bringing it back for exchange. In the summer it's easy for bags stacked and wrapped with plastic film on pallets to absorb moisture and mold. Always best to grab off the top. If they store it in a hot humid location then they can get moldy from sitting too long.
