All flock feed?

I didn’t ask, but I assumed it was a quality issue since they have been known to have toxic ingredients in their dog and cat foods.

You should ask.

Where do you get All Flock feed? all the stores that sell feed here don't carry it. Closest thing I can find is Purina Flock Raiser.

That is all flock @FlyWheel

I usually use Blue Seal, right now they’re getting Purina. Basically if there’s a picture of a duck on the bag, I buy it.

This is the article I’m thinking of. It’s old though, 2015. Perhaps they’ve changed their formula since then?

Here’s a list of all recalled pet foods from the American Veterinarian Medical Association, and the reasons for the recalls. I’m ashamed to say I’ve fed my cats many of these products on the quest to find something they would all actually eat. You never truly know all the ingredients that are in mass-produced food. Although it’s been recommended to me, I’m not talented enough, nor have the time to make my own cat food from scratch. I feed them what is convenient for me to obtain. If it’s recalled, I switch to something else.

Fortunately I don’t see any Purina poultry feed on the recall list, so I’m sure it’s perfectly safe for our flocks to consume. My feed store only sells Country Time or Nutrena, and since I’m easily susceptible to advertisements, and have only seen/noticed Nutrena ads, that’s what I feed my flock. I don’t know anything about the origin of the Country Time brand of feeds, but I’m sure they’re just fine. If my store sold Purina feed, I’d try that out, but for now I can only order it off amazon through a third-party for usually double to triple the price of Nutrena. I love my flock, but I don’t want to spend $38 on a 25lb
bag of feed from amazon when I can go to my agri supply store and get 40lbs for $15.

Thank you. I could not find anything current either. They've been accused and sued, and the matter was or is under investigation, but it seems there is nothing conclusive at this time.

We used to buy Dumor from TSC, but they became super overpriced so we switched to Ranch Pro at Atwood’s. It’s $12 for 40lbs at Atwood’s vs almost $40 for 50lbs at TSC. We get our shavings from either Atwood’s or our local feed store, roughly 7 cubic ft for $4-5 vs 3 cubic ft for $10 at Walmart. The shavings at TSC were almost $20 for like 2 cubic ft, but I think is was supposed to be higher quality.
