What are you paying for feed?

[melissastraka]

I just picked some up today:

Layer, Chick starter and cracked corn, all 50lbs bags ran me about $51.00
It usually lasts about 6-7 weeks...am i paying too much?

a whopping $23-$25 per 50 pound bag of certified organic feed. And yes I am a crazy loon!

15.00 for 100 pounds of Layer here in Michigan. I buy from a local farmer in Lapeer "Howard Stack" my chickens were eating that high dollar feed from TSC and then I switched to the local stuff to save a few dollars. My chickens are laying better than ever now.

I guess I am pretty lucky, Mine will eat what ever I put out for them!

OMG $25 for organic feed! I don't even think I pay that much for the food I eat!

Whole Corn 50# is $5.00 I think.

I was just at TSC yesterday to pick up feed.

I got....
1- 50lb bag of Layer Crumbles $11.99
1- 50lb bag of 20% Chick Starter $13.99
and a 50lb bag of Scratch $7.99

It should last me 2 weeks, maybe a bit longer.

The West Coast always seems to get hit hard by grain prices...

Layena 50# $12.95

some no-name 20% protein layer pellets (all soybean meal) $14.95/50#

Start 'n Grow $8.20/25#

Right now the feed store charges $13.99 for 50 lbs, or 27.98 for 100lbs.

The feed store gives us a 10% discount though because the kids are in a 4-H Poultry Program, so we would actually pay $25.18 for 100lbs.
