I’m paying $24 for 50# of non-GMO layer mash from a nearby feed mill, and my chickens love it. However, I’ve been thinking about starting to mix my own. Anyone ever tried that? I don’t try to overthink this stuff…after all, they are chickens, and they could literally thrive on kitchen scraps and foraging in my yard and woods. But I’m thinking of mixing their feed supplement, in light of the recent Tractor Supply chicken feed shenanigans…don’t know if I want to chance it with pre-mixed feed.
 
I honestly don't know what is a good price for feed. I was paying $35 for a much smaller bag of Organic chick starter feed so it seems like a good price to me. Maybe it's not and I just don't know any better.
I just paid 24 dollars for 50 pounds of Purina Layer...in Texas.
