Not sure (I've only gotten 1 bag and don't recall price since I got it with a bunch of other stuff) - I'm getting more tomorrow morning (it's in - yay!) so will let you know exact cost then :)
Great to hear!
I only have 1 laying (6 are almost there - 19 weeks old). She started 10 days ago and has missed only 1 day (followed by a double yolk egg) - They love the GM feed :)
Thank you so much for your quick reply - I think I'll do that. Since I only have 7 chickens, I store the unused feed in the freezer in plastic bins, so doubling up when I buy feed and then mixing the 2 together and storing in freezer should work just fine. And thanks for relieving my calcium...
Thank you so much for peeking in here and answering our questions :)
My girls are just at point of lay and are totally switched over to your Green Mtn. soy-free. So far so good!
Quick question - I'm not totally against soy, just don't want so much of it, so I'm thinking of getting one bag...
Mine are almost totally switched to the GM soy-free layer (was mixing with remainder of my starter feed for a gradual changeover)- got my 1st egg 5 days ago at 17 weeks so must be fine :)
I add lots of extras - pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, meal worms, lentils, ancient grains...
Yes - they have not updated online since changing the formula - it is now 16% and has fish meal. They still add the methoinine - in order it goes - corn, flaxseed meal, wheat middlings, field peas, calcium, canola meal, alfalfa meal, whole grain wheat, fishmeal (menhaden mechanically extruded)...
Mine are 15 weeks old and haven't started laying - I just bought this bag of GM soy-free to have on hand and start mixing with their grower feed - I have a sex-link that is getting bright red comb/wattles and is squatting so I think she may be an early layer :)
It is now 16% according to the...
Yes the Green Mtn. non-soy formula now contains fishmeal - I didn't know that Countryside had fishmeal - I thought it was all pea protein which is why I went with Green Mtn - haha. They are probably both very similar.
What was the reason you ended up using Countryside Organics instead of Green Mtn, - just curious since you had asked the original question. My feed store carries both and I went with GM - mainly because I heard that the CO had lots of dusty waste - not sure it that's true. And I liked that GM...
Thank you for replying :)
Yes - I am aware of the canola problem and disappointed that this has canola meal . I found a quote by Eric developer of GMF - it was response of his to a question about another brand of soy-free. I'm still going back and forth over soy based vs. soy free and this is...
I know this is an old thread, but I just bought my 1st 50 lb. bag of GMF Organic Soy-Free Layer - they recently added fish meal to up the protein which makes me happy and willing to give it a try. I'm curious if anyone is using this feed and what their experience is....
