2 sussex, 2 NH reds, all Hens. No roo's allowed in this town.
In 2 years I will be moving a little more West of here for a farm so I can have LOTS of chickies @!
How many use Organic feed? What do you use and do you like it?
We use Green Mountain organic feed for our animals. At our farm supply I think a 50lb bag of layer pellets is $26-$28. We only eat food grown without chemicals so it's important for us to have the eggs from our hens be organic as well, even if it costs more. We also grow some of our own food and don't want any toxins from the manure going into our plants.
One year after buying manure compost from cows fed gmo/conventional feed many of our plants grew in weird ways and the weeds that we saw every year developed crazy mutations. Some of them were barely even recognizable. It was creepy.
