What is the best feed?

[bruceha2000]

The feather fixer feed (I believe) is responsible for my mom's older (3-4 ur old) hens laying some eggs this winter because before I gave them the pellets my mom just gave them birdseed. Their shells were very thin too.

Birdseed? I think ANY feed formulated for chickens would have improved the hens.

$7 for 5 pounds is too steep for me. I pay < $12 for 50 pounds of layer pellets.

I like Purina's Flock Raiser for my flock, having cockbirds, cockerels, pullets, hens, and older birds. It works for all of them, and for chicks too.

Yes the poultry conditioner costs more than pellets but you only put in a sprinkle per scoop of pellets
