Online Organic Layer feed?

[MyRedStarz]

Hi! I've got three 9 week old Red Star Hens and I'm thinking of future laying feed options. What is the best online store to purchase organic layer feed from? and is there certain ingredients i should try to stay away from? Also, if someplace affordable is a plus. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Bump!
I don't use organic feed only regular old TSC DuMor feed and all the bugs, grass & veggies their bellies can handle. Hopefully someone will come along soon that knows about good organic feeds.

I'd also like some of this info!

I use organic feed from Egganic Industries - they use a co-op of organic feed suppliers and you order from the one in the state that is closest to you, lower shipping charges. Shipping charges are not cheap, but there are no organic feed suppliers near me, and I do not have a lot of chickens.

For online ordering, I use Countryside Organics: http://www.countrysideorganics.com/
My guidelines were:
- Must be Organic
- Prefer Soy-Free
- Most have mostly good feedback from actual users of the feed
- Must be able to ship (I can't talk my feed stores into organic when I'd be the only one buying according to them! And I can't do a co-op since I know so few other chicken people locally)
- Shipping must be as reasonable as possible (considering how much 50lbs costs to ship)
- Needs to be less than $30 / 50lb. of feed (not including shipping) simply because that is the upper tolerance of what I can afford

Countryside met all of my criteria!
I don't know if they are affordable for you but I wanted to let you know just in case.

We dont have an online ordering system as of yet, although it is planned for the future. That being said, we can process and ship single bag orders via email or phone. We do this for several folks already. If you are interested, you can check us out at www.greenmountainfeeds.com email me at [email protected]. or by phone (802)-234-6278 ext#106

Azurestandard.com carries Rogue Feeds' Organic layer feed. It's a co-op that has a lot of different organic foods and animal feeds, check to see if they have an ordering group in your area.

I'm using organic starter from www.scratchandpeck.com They have grower and layer feed too. I don't know how they charge for shipping since I have a pick up location close to me though. Good luck!
