I got weevils in mine off/on last year and it started up again this year. I know it wasn't the feed store's fault since they only bought 3-4 bags of the starter a week. I had to get there early to get a bag. It started again this year, and I noticed my chickens were on the "thin" side. Combine that with the supply shortage, I just switched to Purina Flock Raiser. They seem to like it. It's just gmo and has no meat protein.I kept getting weevils in the bags I bought. Never had problems before. Don't know if it was feed store or what. Stopped buying Texas Naturals and haven't had any more problems. Also changed feed stores.
The closest H&H dealer is 125 miles away. Not worth the drive.I have been using H&H for a week. I feed the Old Fashioned Layer. Yes I have to drive an hour to get it, but my girls love it. I plan on trying the fermentation process next week. Have you tried H&H?
I was looking at Texas Natural Feeds Guaranteed Analysis and it was different than what you posted from January of last year. It looks like that they have upped their Lysine and Methionine along with increases of Calcium and percentages. Salt content also dropped.Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (Min) 18%, Lysine (Min) .40%, Methionine (Min) .15%, Crude Fat (Min) 3.0%, Crude Fiber (Max) 8.0%, Calcium (Ca) (Min) 1.5%, Calcium (Ca) (Max) 2.5%, Phosphorus (P) (Min) .50%, Salt (NaCl) (Min) .50%, Salt (NaCI) (Max) 1.5%
The Lysine and Methionine seem low about half the amount of the big companies.
