That's about what I pay for the food, but then with $20 shipping, it's close to $50 for a 50lb bag. I buy Countryside Organics layer feed, and have it shipped to IL. I'd love to find an organic food that I could get for cheaper!!Wow that's twice what I pay!! What brand are you using? I pay around 27.00 for 50 pounds of USDA certified organic non soy, non GMO, feed with probotics.
Same here.I've heard great things about that feed. Can you link me to the ingredients? I would love to read about it? As for me I have no choice but to order my organic feed. I don't have the luxury of having a near by mill and our stores don't offer it.
They only ship in 25lb bags. I love Scratch and Peck, but can't afford it, with the shipping.Here is the label from their soy- and corn-free layer feed, 18% protein:

Note that this particular label says 25lbs. I believe they mostly ship that size, but we get it in 40lbs bags from our local feed store.
I didn't see the non-GMO soy-free feed? The non-GMO ones have soy, and the non-soy ones don't say their corn is non-GMO. I'm actually fine feeding soy, but it seems that in foods that contain soy, there's no animal protein, which I thought was something that was best for chickens. Is that not true?We use Hiland Naturals feed. They are based here in Ohio. We choose to use Non-GMO Soy-free feed primarily, but occasionally use their regular non-GMO feed for some batches of chickens. It is not USDA certified organic, but I am not tied to that label. They do have certified organic feeds, but not in the soy-free. One thing I appreciate about Hiland is that they use a variety of grains in their feeds, so even their feeds that contain soy have a diversity of other ingredients and do not rely as heavily on soy.
Current prices for 50 lbs layer (although I typically use grower all the time rather than layer):
Non-GMO (with soy): $20.60
Non-GMO (non-soy): $32.50
Organic (with soy): $36.50
Is your feed something I could order, or do you only sell to retail stores?Our current suggested retail for Organic Soy-Free Layer Pellets is $24.30 (In the northeast).
