"I was hesitant to purchase as I usually buy layer feed from our local co-op. I was pleasantly surprised. My 6 laying young(Rhode Island Red hens) are still laying 2-5 eggs daily in November!"
"I loved how fun this good appears. It was visually appealing and the ad a nice smell when I opened the bag. Our hens sadly spent more time siftong through for possible good stuff and making a mess that the chipmunks ate more than the hens. They also laid less eggs when on this feed than when eating ..."
