Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us
How far are you from Resaca Sun Feeds? They use Fertrell in their feed blends and have wonderful options. Pricing is pretty good too.
loved the pics of your setup and birds, Thanks for sharing.
Now to try and answer your question: Corn, not sure why folks have an issue with corn other than it's really hard to find truly organic that hasn't seen some level of drift from the GMO farms around them. I prefer to get mine from the Amish. Many also consider it to be an empty carb. Soy get's such a bad wrap. Chemically processed is BAD in IMHO. I don't particularly like expellor (sp) processed meal unless it's full fat and then pelleted. My preference is whole roasted soy run through a hammer mill. Many people have issues with soy products and some have allergic reactions to it, but I have friends who sell chickens and eggs to many of those who have issues with soy. Their birds are raised on a ration consisting of whole roasted soy, corn, oats, fish meal, calcium, and Fertrell nutri-ballancer. I'm pretty well convinced that the problems people face doesn't come from the soy, but rather from the chemicals and/or roundup.
