what does everyone pay for their feed

[momoftwinsinwi]

Just curious the difference in price throughout the country? I pay about $13 for a 50 pound bag and my birds are eating the grower right now, will start on layer after this bag is done. And I go thru about 1 bag every approx 6 weeks with 15 birds.

My last bag of layer crumblers ran about $11 and change.

scratch is $8.00
oyster shell was $5.00 for 5 pounds where I got it first at TSC It was the only place I'd ever seen it.
- I found a cheaper place for next time.
My D.E. was around $30.00 for 50 pounds

We pay $10.99 for a 50 lb. bag of the starter and layer feed. We found another place that sells the grit and oyster shell in 100 lb. increments for only $6 each. We go through about 450 lbs. of feed a month. The grit and oyster shell last a month.

We pay about $8.25 for 50lbs of laying pellets and $5 for 50lb bag of scratch feed at the local feed mill. They don't care for the stuff from Tractor Supply. I get 150 lbs of feed at a time. My egg sales pay for the feed.

I pay around $11 for a 50 pound bag of grower.

I go through about 50 pounds every 1-1/2 weeks right now. I hope some of that is just waste (20 standards and 6 bantams) but with weather cooling off I'm afraid they'll get less from forage too.

Oh, and I give a bit to the ducks, forgot them.

Here's another post that was started about feed prices.

We recently got a 50# bag of Dumor Grower for $11.65 at Tractor Supply Co.. We used to get our feed from the local Co-Op but DH doesn't get home in the evenings before they close and we only have one vehicle between us, so TSC has been really convenient for us.

P.S. We've been able to teach the employees a bit, too!

Just got back from the feed store today, got one bag of shavings for 7.49, 100 of layer for 23.58 and 50 of starter for 12.99.. grand total of 47.85. Prices are low at the moment though... hope the feed isn't too old!
