I’ve been doing some research on different feeding options for my laying hens, and Purina’s organic chicken feed keeps coming up in my searches. I’m particularly interested in the nutritional content and how it compares to other organic feeds available on the market.

Reasons for My Interest

  • Organic Certification: I’ve been leaning towards organic feeds to ensure my hens are getting a diet free from pesticides and synthetic additives.
  • Nutrition for Layers: It’s critical for me to provide the best nutrition possible, especially for egg production. I’m curious about the protein content, calcium levels, and other important nutrients in Purina’s organic blend.

Questions for Those with Experience

  1. Efficacy: Have you noticed any differences in egg production or quality since switching to this feed?
  2. Cost vs. Quality: I know organic feeds can be pricier. Is the investment in Purina’s organic feed worth it compared to other brands you’ve tried?
  3. Hens’ Preferences: How do your hens seem to like it? Any picky eaters that turned around after switching?

Additional Considerations

If you’ve compared Purina’s organic feed to other brands, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Also, if you have any tips on integrating new feeds into their diet without causing stress, that would be helpful too. Thanks in advance for any insights you can share!

While I haven’t used Purina, I’ve tried other organic feeds like New Country Organics and gave them mixed reviews. They had a decent price, but my hens weren’t as enthusiastic. Interested to see how Purina stacks up.
