How much are you paying for feed?

[bantamman13]

I just got back from the local feed store and scratch is up to 9.79 50lb Layer crumbles were 11.69 50lb and gamebird was 15.69 50lb. either I am going to have to kick the chicken habit or start making my own feed.

I just paid $14 for fifty pounds of layer pellets.

Hi,
I live in Southern Indiana and we are paying 9.50 for layer and meatbird and 8.00 for crack corn 40lb bags. We recently had to switch from Purina to regular due to cost. Our price would probably be similar if we went to purina.

Last time it was just over $12 for 50lbs of layer pellets. I'm horrified that I just bought 50lb of scratch grains and it was over $13. I swear I was paying $8 last year.

Well at least the crumbles don't look so bad now but all the feed I buy has went up about three dollars a bag since early summer.

They have just now lowered our laying feed a $1. It now costs $12.99 for a 50# bag and scratch is $9.99 for a 50# bag. My chickens have been laying eggs and pay for their own feed that way!

Mine has gone up to $10/50lb bag. These birds are going to have to start making some money (selling eggs) or they are going to become food.

I'm in south central Utah and if I buy feed locally I'm somewhere around $16-$17/50# bag for chick feed, layer feed or game bird starter. If I drive over the mountain to Walmart I can get layer for $10.50/40# bag, but they don't carry chick feed or game bird, just layer and scratch. That's a big enough difference I drive over for a dozen bags periodically--time to do it again tomorrow. Everywhere else I've checked is about the same as my local feed store.
