Ok, backstory: I have 4 Hens and 5 babies and I had been feeding them Laying Scratch, Whoops. So I ran out today to the closest feed store and got a new kind. It was 17.00 for 50 lbs

The ingredient list looks good; time will tell. Is it open dated? Make sure it's really fresh too. Mary

That will be a decent feed but there are no specialty ingredients to help improve the health or productivity of your flock. It's typical of middle of the road nutrition you find at country feed mills.

Is there a better feed? I was looking at Azure Standard but I don't know anyone that uses it.
