I buy my feed in bulk from tractor supply and am having trouble getting what i need for the last 3 weeks to the point that i have no feed at all as of this morning.
I order a ton at a time and it last me 20 days , now my are being outed completely and even though they keep ordering for me the
manager is telling me that the shipping dates have changed and it will be in monday instead of wensday, well monday this week no feed again and now i am out completely as of this morning except what i have put up for penned birds as i free range the rest of my flocks.
I am not sure what to do here, i am told it is coming and it never arrives, it's not like i can just go buy it somewhere else, i could out Just about any feed store around here just purchasing enough for a 3 or 4 day supply for my flocks if i could find it and i would hate to do that to others that may only need a 1bag.
I am making feed for them right now with dog food rice and eggs but that's is alot of cooking for close to 500 birds and it is taking forever to cool.
My flocks are totally free ranged except for newly hatched and a few breeder pens so i can hatch out specific breeds.
I guess i just need to rant cause i do not know what to do here, my feed is supose to be here monday again but i do not know if it will.
I have been buying feed in bulk for years and while i have been shorted on horse feed, they had a substitute that would work , but flock raiser type food are not availabe in the amounts i need.
I know there are people here that have large flocks like me and would like to know how you delt with this kind of thing if it ever happened to you.
I have neen looking inot feed mills but could only find one near here and they only do cattle type feeds
