TSC now sells bulk feed by Mail

[northeastDad]

Does anyone know if there is any company’s online that have a good selection of feed and ships without a too ridiculous price ?

I suggest that you make your own feed, it will be way cheaper, and you can find ration formulation software online for free, trust me you will save lots of money.

That must depend on your location, because I worked out making my own feed and it was not cheaper than commercial in the slightest. At least to do it right, anyway.

The only way you're going to save considerably on feed is if you have a local Co-Op that will mix feed for you fresh AND have enough chickens to go through that amount of feed before it loses its nutrition. I'm thinking it's probably at least a half ton at a time you'd need to do, maybe 500lbs bulk bags. Plus you need somewhere to safely store it, and a way to transport it home and to where you're storing it.

I’m not looking to save , just looking more of a selection of feed . I got tractor supply close but limited selection . Most feed store feed I’ve seen around here didn’t look the best and was very dusty

This is a good way to go!

I have read about people buying feed from a local grange. Also look for a co op in your area.

Here we can get chicken feed dropped off to us from Azure Standard in Washington state.

Something like that might be available to you in NY

I know you can order from some companies, but you're gonna be looking at getting full pallets. Unless you have a lot of birds, it would probably be best to get together with a few other chicken people to split pallets. Or you can get individual bags shipped, but you're gonna spend $$$$ for that.

Fleet Farm and North 40 sell food online and seem to have a pretty good selection and it’s not too expensive.

Thanks!

Thanks!

No problem!! Hopefully it’s helpful. And not too outrageously priced. But I remember I ordered from one of them once when my chicks were babies and they didn’t carry the chick starter I wanted and it wasn’t too bad I don’t think.
