    Ameraucana pullet or cockerel???

    All Natural feed?

    I want to feed my chicks organic feed, but in my area (south Alabama) the shipping costs are almost as high as the feed (combined cost of over $50/50lb bag) . My next choice would be all natural. I found an all natural by Purina with no animal by-products, no antibiotics, and no steroids. Does...
