You might want to look into becoming a feed supplier.

That's what a friend about 3 hours from me did. He got so angry with trying to get feed, that he found an old used hammer mill and mixer, and now he sells feed.

Lesson on foraging.

I had uninvited guests this morning waiting for me to let everyone out to free range.

Reposting this here, because it's just funny. My turkeys investigated the turkey vultures last year. If I remember, this was in the morning, when the turkey vultures sometimes are on the ground because their wings are damp.

You don't have to become your own mill. My long time supplier got into the feed business because his father was asked by the feed makers to become a dealer for them. It started a long profitable business for him and later his son.

I've thought about mixing my own feed (once I have more than 8 birds) to cut costs.

This morning it's damp and foggy but the turkeys/guineas are just as excited for grass. It's kinda like silent hill fog out there...

WOW! I scream when I have to pay $18 for 50#s. Go here and put in your zip and see who pops up around you. Make sure you call who ever pops up to make sure they have feed as some of their retailers only do lawn care.

I'm getting my turkey feed for $14.50 for 50 lb.

Years ago when I was running 100 plus head of horses, along with the turkeys, ducks, geese, chickens, calves, goats, pigs, and more - we had an old hammermill that ran off a pulley and a tractor PTO. It certainly saved us a lot of time (and grief) making our own feed.
