Hi All, DH and I have 19 layers that started laying in the past month. We bought Feed "A" and they were going thru about 100 # a month. Went to buy more and they were closed so went to a different feed store and bought Feed "B". Both organic but the chickens seem to eat more of Feed A than Feed B. DH thinks they are more satisfied on Feed B so they aren't wolfing it down as much. I am not so sure. Still laying but since they are new layers not sure how much of a variable that is between the two.
DH says if they are hungry they will eat. I want them to love their food so the momma in me wants them on which ever one they like better but since they can't talk I am asking you to speak for them.
Which would you feed your chickens based on ingredients, A or B? Thanks!
