Hello NHites,
I'm relatively new to chickens. I have 10 8-week pullets...2 each of white leghorns, buff orpingtons, barred rocks, NH reds, and easter eggers. They will be layers only...for now. They get to free range through the yard quite a bit and started on Green Mountain organic starter mash. They absolutely love it when we ferment it.
I'm wondering where you all get your feed from. I'd prefer soy-free and organic/non-GMO. I know Green Mountain has an organic soy-free layer feed, but I don't see a soy-free grower. I got the organic starter from the Barn Store in Salisbury, but for some reason they don't carry the grower and I had to go with he convention Poulin feed on a whim since we were heading on vacation.
Does anyone here grow their own barley fodder? I've been considering it as I already farm my own mealworms. Anyways...it's nice to be a part of the community here.
