At my feed stores in town I have the options for organic chicken feed in the two labels below. I am not sure if having wheat middlings as the first ingredient is better or not than the corn on the other labels first ingredient. I read that wheat middlings is a by product of wheat. I tried scratch n pecks gmo free one and it was expensive for paying for so much dust.
I feed my chickens also sprouts from wheat, barley and oats as a treat with BOSS mixed in. I read somewhere that I should be feeding scratch in the winter to help with egg production by giving a boost of carbs. I am new to this and not sure what the best treats or food is for that matter! Appreciate any help on this.
If there is a suggestion of a good brand I can see if the feed store would order for me. I am on central California coastal area.
Thanks!
Ps the ripped label shows 17% crude protein
