So, while I was researching stuff for my ladies, I knew I wanted to feed them organic food. I found a great deal on organic feed at our local farm store, and even via Azure Standard. All the while, my aunt kept telling me about Scratch and Peck and how great it was and blah blah blah.
Whatever, I knew better.
Then?
Then, one day I was almost out of food and far from the feed store. My aunt (remember that smart lady that I had previously been ignoring) told me that a member of our food co-op sold Scratch and Peck. Oh, and her house was really close to work.
Sold.
My ladies had been decent eaters from the start, and always did a fine job eating what I put in their feeder.
Then?
Then I brought home the Scratch and Peck.
You know that scene in A Christmas Story when Ralphie's mom tells his little brother to "show me how a piggy eats"? Well, that is what my chickens did when I poured Scratch and Peck in to their feeder. They went bat shit crazy over this stuff.
And truth be told, if you compare Scratch and Peck to the grey pellet stuff I was giving them before, I'd go bat shit crazy myself. Scratch and Peck has actual whole grains in there, and you can tell what your chickens are actually eating. It's not mystery meat; it's wheat, peas, oats, barley, and oyster shells (for laying birds). You could probably eat it. I could probably eat it. And if you think about the fact that what your chickens eat eventuhttp://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7683373180572839029#editor/target=post;postID=120842139029825261ally makes its way in to your system, you want to know what your ladies eat.
