and this would all be at a feed store?

I get my starter and layer feed along with the scratch grains - cracked corn, wheat, oats, barley (light on the corn, mind you) from the feed elevator. They mix their own feed there as does each feed mill/elevator so I would just ask for their label so you can check the ingredients and levels for protein. (of course you then need to know what protein level you are looking for I was at 20% protein and have backed it off to 18%)​

so techinically i could mix my own feed when they would get older? or would it just be better to buy through a company?
