Feed questions....??

[Folly's place]

Always check the mill date on every bag! I want it within four or five weeks, max, and feed it so it's not older than six to eight weeks of the mill date.

they had to throw out their remaining stock as it went bad.

Did you ever get the MFG date off the bag(s)you had?

My feed is stored in it's bags, in metal garbage cans, out in the coop. It stays dry, no problems. I do buy within one month of the mill date on each bag, and use it up within another two to four weeks max.

X2, I’ve yet to have an issue. Even with it being in the coop and with the door open at certain times of the day the sun hits the garage can and still no issues.
One great thing about metal is it reflects to heat/sun away. Plastic takes in all the heat.
@WhoDatChick could it have been a bad bag of feed?
