Congrats!!!
I've had my EE's for, I think 3-4 years now, and I still get all excited when the green/blue eggs come. I usually take a bunch of eggs to work and everyone always asks if they are getting the green ones. I usually make sure the people with young kids get the "special" eggs.

Thanks! I am so happ. I will definitely have to give some blue eggs to my brother’s family. My two nephews are the ones that named my legbars and I am sure they will be very excited about the blue eggs

Sooo Tractor Supply finally carries Nutrena NatureWise Hearty Hen and All Flock (they used to only carry layer pellets and crumbles, Feather Fixer, chick starter/grower and meatbird crumble), and I almost bought the All Flock because no one is laying now and I usually buy Purina FlockRaiser but Nutrena percentages are better but anyway... then I noticed this... this batch was manufactured July 27th... I am think I shouldn't buy it?? Guess it must not be selling well??? But I don't want someone else's flock to get sick. Also it is way cheaper. $14.99 instead of $18.49. (Idk why Purina is so expensive, Purina layer feed is only $15.99, same price as the Hearty Hen). But I am thinking it is not worth it? Purina was manufactured October and September. Thoughts?

Just noticed Purina is 50 pounds, Nutrena is 40. Guess will get Purina for now but for future reference am curious how long feed lasts.

How many hens do you have?

I think you are supposed to use it within 6 months of manufacture. But sooner is better.
