mold in bottom of feed bag, should I throw out the whole bag?

[Newtoraisingchicks]

This new unopened bag of layer pellets was stored upside down outside and exposed to moisture. When I turned it right side up and opened it, there was a layer of black moldy food on top. Should I trash the entire bag, or can I scoop out the mold and feed the rest to my flock?

Trashing the whole bag is probably the best idea as there is mold known to be in the bag already.

If it was me, I'd just scoop off the moldy part. But I'm no expert, and I don't want your birds to get sick!

I suggest throwing the whole bag. Just because some of it appears fine doesn't mean that it isn't all effected. For future reference, do you have a dry place to store grain, even if it's in a garbage can? Any moisture will mold the grain and be bad for your birds.

get rid of it.

I would toss it. THe whole bag. And get a garbage can or something else to store it in for the future.

That's not fun to find. I'd throw out the whole thing.
