It is a farmers co-op about 10 min. from our house. DH thought maybe he might have been making chicken feed there. I don't want to get into making my own feed and mixing the amounts needed of all the ing. I am not up to that right now. I was just hoping to find a great feed for a fair price and add a little something if I needed to.
Thanks Oz

i am not recommending you do.

for me its purely economics. 110lbs of premix adult chicken feed is $30. I make mine for $17

Most people aren feeding 5 stages of pig, quail chukar chicken guinea at various stages of breeding either - but by having the fish meal, I can tweak small amounts of specialized food rather than buying a 110lb sack of it

A fresh mix basic food and some fish meal and you can do what you want

he is amusing to say the least

Friday was "career day" at preschool. As he was dressed as Doc Enzo, he got mad at his mom for not swinging by Riverside Hospital so he could round on patients

God knows where he gets this stuff.

We did pretty well for a couple of random kids
