    Looking for Alternative to Avia Charge 2000

    Thank you! I did grab a "treat" of black seed/meal worm mix and will grab an all flock next timeI am at the feed store! (these girls are definitely not over weight- I actually got the mix to add a some weight! So I should be ok til the next trip to the store! I don't give treats often. )
