Hi Karla, how much is the Azure Standard feed. My girls really like the Big Sky feed, but it is to costly to feed a large flock. I do like the all natural organic feeds better, and I think they lay better on it.
It was really nice today, 48 and sunny and I had the coop open all day so everyone could be outside if they wanted. Most of our snow is goig fast, but that just makes a muddy mess. I'm glad I have the covered area for the chickens, it never gets wet and nasty.
http://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/14048/ says 25.50 with 10% off . I got the 40 pound bags. It's a bit more but if I want soy free corn free, ad most importantly GMO free I'm going to do it. I'm going to stock up on this and add it to Mylar bags and put it in 5 gallon buckets. It will keep a lot longer and I can be sure to have enough on hand if anything happens, I go broke, the government goes broke or the company goes broke lol. Got only 3 bags today, but when tax tme comes I plan to buy a years worth, and a years worth of bedding, and a few extra feeders and waterers. I was out of a job for three onthe this year, and can you believe I got over a thousand more back from uncle Sam? Well in three weeks when I see a check lol. But I really worried about how to afford the feed and bedding . Let alone rent and all the other bills. Im not Mormon but I do believe in stocking up on food so at least I have a years worth, but now that I'm back to work, I plan to stock up on animal foods to. Thank goodness I have about fifty buckets and Mylar bags lol. Need to use up my oxygen absorbers so now is the time.
I was sold on that feed when I bought it off
amazon and it cost almost as much to ship as the feed. My birds went totally nuts over it. Like crack to a drug adict. I decided then I was going to try my hardest to et more, but not through
amazon as that was a fortune. They have a place that sells it in Idaho, but I would have had to wait until summer for that long long drive. When I got a catalog from azure standard that said they were going to try it, I was so happy I can not tell you. And they do not charge you by weight when the delivery truck comes to town, they charge you buy b how much you spend. I bought 205 dollars worth of food and chicken food ,total weight 160 lbs and paid 17.00 total shipping.
I got weird stuff to try today, red butan rice, a giant jar of really raw honey, oh and of course 6 ice cream lol, and yogert, frozen berries, potatoes ( did you know that potatoes are the worst Gmo food besides apples?) I buy only organic, not really a lot more money, but safer to eat!
