Storage
Keep organic chicken feed stored in a cool, dry location to prevent humidity from encouraging the growth of fungi that can convert pelleted feed to mush. Exposing moist air to sunlight may lead to spoilage of this precious commodity; many use barrels and bins for this purpose but these containers can become damp from raindrops or condensation caused by temperature shifts, leading to spoilage over time.
Rodents can become a serious hazard to chicken feed storage when they chew through your bags and steal your food supply, leaving your flock vulnerable to disease-bearing rodents that damage feeders and waterers. To safeguard against these issues, keep all feed stored in sealed bags – you can find many of them at Tractor Supply Company as well as other stores; there are chick starter, grower, and layer bags.
Nutrition
Chickens rely on various nutrients in order to thrive, including carbohydrates, protein, fats, minerals and vitamins. Many of these essential components can be found in commercial feeds while some organic varieties may also exist; to make sure you purchase authentic organic products read all labels closely when shopping.
