The Most asked question! My turn

[Goatmum]

I am overwhelmed by choices of chicken feed. I have no doubt this question has been asked a gazillion times. We only want to feed them the best food. We feed our goats Hubbard goat feed. I know they make chicken feed too. We also, give our goats MannaPro goat minerals. They do very well on both. A lot of people around here feed Purina chicken feed. I need recommendations! Right now our chicks are eating MannaPro chick starter grower. Thank you in advance!

I feed my ladies purina all flock crumbles with free choice oyster shell on the side.

My hens eat Modesto Organic Layer No Corn No Soy ration. We buy from Chewy.com. It's not the cheapest brand but they love it. I also have less than 10 chickens so price wise it is doable for my household.

I use co op brand crumbles but just switched over to dumor only because the tractor supply is 10 minutes from me and any feed store is 30 minutes to 2 hours away. If I happen to be at the co op or feed store ill buy a couple bags of that to use still.

Thank you! Since we only have four chicks, we don’t mind paying more for their food.

How long will chicks be on the chick feed?

I had some 2 week old chicks I gave to a broody hen to raise. They were eating table scraps and layer crumbles.

I keep mine on chick feed until everyone is laying.

Depends on your definition of "best". Everybody's is different. Purina is fine by me. But I don't care about organic or no soy or whatever. "Best" for me means "healthy, easy to find, not too expensive, and the chickens like it". Purina Flock Raiser checks all those boxes, so for me that's the best feed.
