I dumped out a big scoop in their tray..... and wouldn't you know it I see them going for the pellets first....... but...

    If you're giving off lock and supplementing with oyster shell I believe you're covering all the bases.... Like I said with trial and error I usually feed blue seal layer..... Sometimes I buy a 25lb bag of blue seal off lock and I mix it with a hundred pounds of layer during the seasons when they...

    I do agree and everything you said although the smell in the look of the grain to me I didn't like... According to the label the nutrition was there.... But the only thing that turned me off was 3 days in feeding that feed I found lower egg production and their poop was more runny and...

    I guess if something is not available regional we can only figure out what's the best possible one for what we have available.... I mean anything blue seal for me has worked and Purina in my experience..... I guess we all have to see what works best but some brands are undeniably made of better...

    If I posted the picture correctly this is the one I'm referring to that my chickens don't like.... The one that I say looks like ground up cardboard and you can't make out any corn or anything in it, it's an overall dark brown color all crumbled up.... And when it gets wet it turned spongy...

    Everything is up to snuff with the Nutrena food, it's just their recipe and the way their brand is made, my chickens are starting to eat more of it, but personally I don't like the smell, the looks of it, it's different than any other crumble I've gotten in the past...:confused:....it looks over...
