Organic Non GMO Wholesome Feed?

[Sutherland906]

They do sell organic cracked corn at $17.50 for 50 lbs. It's not really not that far from me, so I will be making the trip to check out their operation. Thanks so much, every other avenue I tried was a dead end.

 

Did you end up trying Lakeview Organics? I'm debating if it's worth the drive. It's about 3 hrs from me, but if I bought bulk it may be worth it.

Nice try, but anything published by the Food Babe needs to be taken with a grain of salt and a very tiny one at that.

You've had negative experience with Food Babe? I never heard of it.

Hugelland Non-GMO, non-soy

-free mash feed is great. They are a mill out of Central Texas. Our layers really like it! If you are in the Dallas area Trinity Hay Market sell it.

In SoCalif we have access to Scratch & Peck non-gmo, no corn/no soy organic layer feed. There's a lot of non pressed non processed ingredients and is a bit laden with dusty stuff like fish meal but there are lots of bigger chunks of ingredients too. The birds pick over the stuff they want. Some people make it into a fermented feed but we keep ours dry since one of our hens only eats dry feeds. I read somewhere that B vitamins change properties when fermented so I keep our feed dry.

The thing that bothers me about the language used on labels is that they state things like no ADDED anti-biotics, artificial ingredients, etc.
So, was there something like that in it to begin with? And by them saying 'added' they are covering their butts, so to speak?

"Organic" has some broad requirements and varies from state to state, manufacturer to manufacturer. To me, if it's labeled "organic" that's a good start. If I choose to be fussier I also seek non-GMO, no corn/no soy also. Lately I saw Harrison's organic parrot food that has about 3 different formulas that I may choose to add to my present Scratch N Peck organic layer. It makes a good mash for tube feeding to a sick chicken too because Scratch N Peck has too many firm pieces to break down into a mash. Some owners just feed a basic flock food to all their chickens of all ages and all sexes and just keep oyster shell or calcium carbonate in a separate feeder for the laying hens to eat. I only have 4 hens so I choose to be a little more fussier about what I feed mine plus they free-range plus they get added produce and health supplements plus worming at least a couple x a year. If your chickens are healthy you must be doing something right.
