To the OP.
I have found that shipping on many commercial feeds makes it cost prohibitive because rates will likely be calculated based on weight.
I have been doing some research on mixing my own feed. There are some good threads and recipes on here as well as other websites. Depending on the size of your flock and your food storage area, this may be an option for you. Depending on where you source your grains, shipping may be reasonable and/or free. For example, some grains can be purchased through Amazon and may be included in free "prime" shipping. Just throwing out another option. I know mixing your own feed is not for everyone, but if you are buying whole grains you also have the options of fermenting and/or growing fodder too, which *may* offset the cost some. Again, both fermenting and fodder are not for everyone and the size of your flock and prep space will factor into whether or not this is realistic for you as well. More things for you to read up on while you are stuck home without a vehicle.
chewy.com is generally good for pet supplies and does free shipping on feed orders, though I'm not sure how much chicken stuff they have (mostly dog and cat stuff I feel like)
murdochs.com has chicken and ag supplies, there is more available in their stores than online however.
