How much do you pay for feed??

And the fact that some don't use American dollars. Sorry @PippinTheChicken I can't do a poll, nice idea though

...and all the different prices they all could be, no matter the currency.

$22.99 USD for 50# bag of Start and Grow from local country hardware store. Last purchased 8/3 and have finished off 25# as of the other day.

here in southern Ontario, Canada I am paying about $25+tax for a 25 kg bag of chick crumble. I soak and ferment it so they are going through it at a pretty slow pace so far.

If they have start & grow, they might have flock raiser. A little better nutritionally and might be slightly cheaper (based on my local price).

Here Flock Raiser is now $23.49, at least last week. It's been going up, and up, and up...

This is at TSC, where at least it's fresh most of the time.

I had gotten very used to 16.99. That went away in April.

Me too!

Brand? Location of purchase (box store/mill/local feed store)?

Southern States. Nutrena makes it for them, if I understand correctly.

Flock Balancer https://www.southernstates.com/cata...category=horse-livestock+poultry+poultry-feed

or Super Breeder https://www.southernstates.com/cata...category=horse-livestock+poultry+poultry-feed

Depends on what's available on a given week and/or if I have chicks who are off chick feed but not yet up to handling pellets.

TSC on the Big Island/Hawaii 50# Flock Raiser on the 16th is $33.49 as is their Start & Grow ... Was $25.99 in June when I picked up last, only 4 1/2 chickens (4 LF & 1 Serama). I rebar (ziplock) & freeze ... Researching their other feeds, however being here it tends to change. So before I need will take a walk in their warehouse to see what's there.

Any recommendations? Anyone familiar with NatureWise All Flock? Quoted $27.99/50#

$33 for 50 lbs of Purina Flock Raiser. Used to be $27. Prices went up recently.
Recently switched over to more contained feeders instead of the open pans I used before. Feed is lasting longer now with much less waste.

That was a shocker for me the other day ...
