Holy Cow! My sister lives in Nikiski, not sure what she feeds hers but I do know they sometimes get dog kibble when she runs out. They also get a lot of scraps.
probablynot half as much as i do, on the west coast of alaska we get a LOT of price inflation because of barge fees etc. in the winter the barges don't come in and we're suck with whatever we have.
some places DO offer a bulk deal. we feed our chickens tons of different stuff. we save almost all of our table scraps for them so the feed lasts a lot longer. they will usually choose whatever leftovers we give them over the feed. Nikiski, ey? she likely gets hers from Alaska mill & feed!
