Chicken feed price

[Victoria chan]

I know this might be old question, but where can I get chicken feed cheap? Monthly consumption about 2000lb. I called surrounding feed store, still seems Tractor Supply has the cheapest. Located in southern NH.

2000 lb? Did you just introduce yourself with about a dozen birds?

I am from KY and Tractor Supply is the best price around here, too. I was sure the local feed stores would beat them on price but they didn't. Rural King had a better price on their brand but we don't have one close and they don't ship.

“big box stores” tsc, rk, and even walmart seem to have the cheapest prices.....occasionally a local mill will be able to beat the price in bulk orders if you happen to have 1 locally. 2000 lbs per month is a lot!!! you must be running a big flock! you may consider butchering more often to save food cost!!

A dozen is what I have now. We are planning to have more next month or later.

Good to know! But unluckily, we don't have that either

We would butcher for profit later. But just doing research at this moment. It seems we don't have feed mill or they won't deliver 2000lb for me.

2000 lb, as in 1 ton? And you have 12 birds? Do you realize that feed is perishable? 12 might eat 50 lbs a month. I wouldn't get more than 50 lbs at a time.....
