This link has receipe for poultry feed, it does seem daunting to do tho.
I do not want to eat GMO food so I do not want to give it to the girls or my dogs.
The purina Layena has corn and soy so this product will be GMO feed. I want
non GMO feed.
Do I really have to make the above receipe.
I live in the city. I have looked for organic feed here in Nebraska and the one I
found is Countryside Organics in Virginia, the shipping is more than the feed.
Thanks,
mg

Hi,
What is BOSS ?
thanks
And is this receipe for ducks or chickens ?

it seems as if I remember a feed company closer to you that does at least non-soy/non GMO if not organic. I personally dont care about the organic certification, I car more about non-soy 1st and non GMO as a close second. Let me research some more....I know there is something out your way.

boss is Black Oil Sunflower Seed. My recipe was put together with chickens in mind but I am currently crunching the #'s on it for ducks.

Hi,
I am with you, I rather not have the GMO at all.
Thanks

When I lived in VA, my friend went to MD about an hour away to get her feed from an Amish mill. Great feed and very good prices.

The pasture our chickens are on belongs to our neighbors; they said we could put them out there. I've asked several times if they would consider selling (they sold the herd that was on it 15 years ago) but they keep saying no. They're afraid we'll build houses on it. I have told him we'll put a no development clause in the contract, but he still says no. =( I would so love to build a little barn, keep chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs... Maybe if I can get a cash down payment together and hold it in front of his nose, he'll bite. Or maybe I'll hold it in front of his wife's nose--she likes to shop!! =D

Maybe you can lease it.

Have you thought of looking into the Meridian Feed Mill for some of what you are looking for? Also perhaps D&B Supply? I was going to by wheatbran bulk by the bag (for raising meal worms for the chickens) at Fred Meyers since they have a bulk section. Then I checked out D&B Supply and they had a much larger bag for about half the cost. It always pays to shop around for prices.

Hey fellow Idahoan! I haven't checked in Meridian yet! But I don't have many chickens since I live in the city....I have 5 chickens and 2 ducks...I am really interested in trying to sprout some stuff for this winter...have you ever sprouted before?

THANK YOU, I was wondering the same thing and forgot to ask...lol
