    Modesto Milling Organic Feeds?

    I feel that the Organic part is the main thing I pay 25 for a 50lb. bag. So if the yard birds like it then it's settled. mine are tearing up the spouts like mad. give that a try too.

I meet the gang at the mill every two months or so for different products they bag. I have been told that the...

    Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

    Thanks it ends up being the only one, so they're back on on a routine of eating and laying nice solid eggs. the spouted barley seems to be working great, there is never any signs of it when I go back out to see and they are not eating as much feed.

    You can also get the feed minus soy,! No soy is organic that I know of. I don't know of another mill that supplies organics in the area or state. The prices are fair and service is great, we're lucky we are so close.

    Comment by 'Chicken Steve' in article 'Composting With Chickens'

    I have several piles and had no idea how much they loved it until I let them run in the garden after harvest. It's their favorite play ground, full of goodies I have to guess, by the way they go for it. Thanks a lot it's a very nice article
