I am one of those long time chicken owners that noticed something’s not right this year with egg production. Finally ran out of my tractor supply chicken feed and need to get something. What brands should I avoid? Also I’ve heard people using goat feed with success but wondering what your thoughts are?

Depending where you live, see if there’s a local feed mill that makes their own blend. Otherwise, I’d try mixing my own or using Rural King (Cargill makes their store brand, I think) if you have one close. But local is best if you can! Make sure there’s enough protein (15% minimum) and calcium, like oyster shell. I also bake and crush their egg shells to feed back to them.
