We've always used Nutrena NatureWise brand Feed. We started out with Nutrena NatureWise Chick Starter Grower Feed. When they got to a certain age we switched them to Nutrena NatureWise Layer Feed. Now they're losing quite a few feathers so we started feeding them Nutrena NatureWise Feather Fixer. We really like the Nutrena brand. It doesn't have hormones or antibiotics. And our flock looks happy and healthy. It's a little more expensive than some of the other brands but we feel like it's worth it.
