Anyway, the ladies loved it... And it was delivered right to my door! Well, I started thinking about it and realized I was paying $36 for the luxury of getting 25 lbs delivered to my door.
So I decided to goto City Farmer's Nursery and just buy the best feed they had, as I was sure it was cheaper. The best feed they had there, as far as I could tell, was Modesto Milling, organic, no soy, no corn, 50 lbs of feed for about the same price -- $36 (twice as much feed, for the same price). Granted, this was less convenient (I had to drive about 20 minutes out to the nursery, and 20 minutes back) and more difficult (50lbs is hard for me to lug). But I thought the cost savings might be better, and maybe the chickies would like it more.
Well, the girls are only so-so with the feed. Actually I think they don't like it to much. We've probably got about 25lbs of it left.
So my husband suggested that I just go ahead and switch back to the Scratch and Peck feed. And last night I did -- I got 25lbs delivered to my door, I mixed it with the remaining Modesto feed....
and.....
They loved it! In fact, I think they're picking around the old feed and not really eating it. Oh well. We'll see now if there is any difference in the eggs.
