I didn't know that purina had hormones I don't really like that . I'll have to see what else is available in my area.

I read about it in Mother Earth News and then I asked the attendant at the store and he confirmed it for me. I don't like it either wih is why give them extra vitamins in the fruit and veggies.

 

[mrcockerel]

You know I contacted purina and they emailed me back that their chicken feed didn't have hormones or antibiotics. Would they out right lie about it?i looked on the packaging and there was no mention of it

The person was a Pat Herndon I kept the email

I'll apologize for my that not all Purina has hormones in it bu the one my feed store carries does. So I buy Layena. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

[AmyJoyChix]

No not Layena I used though I've been buying Home Grown its good stuff so far.

Welcome to BYC - read the feed labels. All else is hearsay.

 

[mrcockerel]
