Organic Chicken Feed

"Scratch and Peck" is a popular organic feed for smaller flocks.

Thank you. I will check them out!

Most people I know that feed Organic, go Purina. Me, I just go egg layer. Organic feed is just too expensive for me with all the birds I have. Besides, I get between 24 to 33 eggs a day. I eat perhaps 12 eggs a month. The rest I give to my church for the local food bank to feed the needy. Last month (Oct) I gave the Church 55 Dozen for the food bank. I don't think the food bank cares if the eggs are Organic or not.

Thank you for the quick response. I love that you donate all the extra eggs to a local food bank. What a nice and generous idea!

so if dont use organic chicken feed for your chickens, technically their eggs arent organic?

That's a true statement, but it's more complicated than that. You can't claim your eggs are organic unless your operation is certified organic.
