It varies;

Layena - 50# $12. 49

Starter / Grower 18%- 50# $11.00

Organic Layer Mash - 50# $18.00

There may be cheaper options around Mid-Michigan as Amish and some Elevators grind there own feed. But I am not sure of the prices.

so far the only thing I bought is medicated starter 25lb bag costs me $16.99

I heard other farmer around here say its expensive. but I recently found a co-op an hour away from my town. They charge 10.99 not worth the drive, costs me more in gasoline to just get there.

I get purina flockraiser 50 lb bag for $12.50, and an all natural hand mixed 50 lb bag for $9.37. Both are basically the same ingredients, and vitamins. My flock free ranges during the day.
