I TRY TO FEED MY FAMILY MOSTLY ORGANIC FOOD, AND I WOULD LIKE TO START FEEDING THE CHICKENS ORGANIC FEED. NONE OF THE FEED STORES IN MY AREA SELL ORGANIC FEED. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD ORDER SOME THAT'S NOT TOO TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE. OR POSSIBLY MAKE MY OWN IF I COULD FIND THE INGREDIANTS IN BULK.

Blue Seal Feeds makes organic feed. If any feed stores in your area carry it you should be able to order some. We are feeding our chicks their organic chick starter.
 
LilyRoseDaisy, could you tell me how much you are paying? I've visited their site, but looks like I'd need to email for a quote. If you have the info (I'm in CO), I'm sure our prices would be similar to ship.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting the price list. I've been waiting to hear from them and decide whether or not to place an order, so you've made this a lot easier for me.

For those of you with very small flocks, would a 50# bag of the chick starter be too much for 3 to 4 chicks? Earlier posts recommended keeping feed as fresh as possible/not letting it sit around too long. Would I go through the 50# soon enough, or should I stick with Purina SunFresh in 25# or smaller?

Thanks for any advice you can offer!!!
 
EEEKK! Just received my reply from Countryside on the cost of shipping to Colorado. Here it is:
50 lbs. - $32
100 lbs. - $64
200 lbs. - $108
500 lbs. - shipped on a pallet via trucking company at an LTL rate of
approximately $135
These prices are JUST shipping, don't include the price of the feed itself.

So, looks like I'll be using the unmedicated SunFresh Start & Grow and then switching to my own organic feed after that (cheaper to pick up the organic ingredients locally and make my own). Any other ideas out there?
