I give my girls Country Heritage Organic Certified Coarse Layer; they love it:

Sadly, I can not get you a link to that particular feed, but if you go to the above and then click on the option I have highlighted in the screen shot, you will be able to see the details:

x3! What a project!
I feed Purina Flock Raiser, with separate oyster shell, to all my birds. It's fresh at the local feed stores, and has worked well for me.

I know we want to feed our animals/pet the best we can afford but it gets so very difficult with all there is, ingredients and analysis

Here's a good one, been reading "animal protein" is better than grain protein, is there any feed that uses/has "animal" protein? I gave up looking, that's where treats come in (mealworms, tuna, eggs, meat, etc ...) alot easier & make me feel good when they LOVE their treats, ha ha

Does fish meal count? Scratch & Peck uses it, although how much is hard to gauge.

I also feed high protein treats (soldier fly larvae, mealworms, etc.) for similar reasons.

I’ve switched feeds many times in the short time I’ve had chickens.
I prefer organic but it’s frustrating that I can’t find an organic feed that has a minimum of 20% protein and a recent mill date out here in Idaho.
Seems like everyone out here buys whatever is cheapest.
I’m also very interested in feed with animal protein in it!
If they can make dry dog/cat food with animal protein I don’t see why they can’t put it in poultry feeds.
Until I can settle on something I like I’ll continue to supplement my birds with animal protein myself.
The brands I’ve used:
Nature’s Best
Nutrena
Purina
DuMor

I’m currently using DuMor chick starter for the littles and the biggies.
I look forward to your results Kiki!

Are you looking for a new feed within driving distance?
Did you know that a lot of feeds can be ordered online and shipped?

Yeah, looking for something locally. Shipping seems to be $$$. If I give up on organic I was thinking about trying this:
Oñate 22% layer

I'd still have to order it but at least I could pick it up at my mom and pop feed store.

A small feed store in my town started carrying "Onate" feeds, she drives to the Albuquerque mill every Friday for a truckload of it. I was thrilled because I've always wanted to try feed straight from the mill! However I was a bit disappointed. The feed had absolutely NO smell and my flock refused to eat it, no matter how hungry they got.

Lets us know how your birds like it! My birds are incredibly picky.

Mega layer

does that help

Oh! no soy or corn!!! I tried a similar feed but in order to purchase it had a 150 mile round trip... not fun.

What works I do not go that far it is like 65 miles round trip for us
but we live out in the sticks on purpose
