Best feed at tractor supply that’s not super expensive?

[Quarterhorses1]

Have any of you tried fermenting or soaking any of thes feeds overnight?

Yes! I soaked mine once because my bin got rained in, so about 30 minutes of rain soaked it pretty good. The next day it was a nice mash (on the thicker side) that the chickens went Crazy for. I HIGHLY Recommend this feed as it’s helped my hens so much. I have a two year old BBW turkey on it laying eggs still, and all of my hens look great, lay great eggs, and are very healthy

Since my hens have never liked any of the organic milled feeds which I'd prefer to use, I've used Purina Flock Raiser for several years. My flock tends to be a blend of layers, part-time layers and senior citizens so FR covers all the bases. As mentioned I ALWAYS have a separate dish of both crushed oyster shell and crushed eggshells available as a supplemental calcium source, which my girls use at their discretion.

I use Nurena 20% all flock pellets. I do not care for the crumbles of any brand as i get to much waste. My birds seem to do well on it and i have been tracking my egg laying this month on the Flockstar Lite App and my flock of 12 is averaging 9.7 eggs per day so far this month. I have some light brahmas that are not everyday type layers. But i am happy with Nutrena. It seems to be a decent feed. It is about 19.99 for 40# (I also ferment 2 cups a day of this feed)
