wow remember when my blog had a purpose? anyway, it’s been a while since the project part of my blog actually happened at all so that’s what this post is:
Today I think we should talk about the price of chicken feed.
Your everyday 40-pound bag of feed goes for around $0.62 per pound ISH (depending on where you live feed will cost more/less for the sake of my point just bare with me). All’s well and cool. But shift that commodity price and oh boy. You might be looking at $35+ for less feed. See, since most chicken feed is made of corn and soy, the price of feed is going to fluctuate according to how much corn is available. wig. In places where corn is abundant , chicken feed is going to be cheaper because the supply is greater! Wow!
Tips and tricks to saving money on chicken feed bc we all on a budget
Depending on your motivation and physical ability, mixing your own feed can actually be really beneficial to your chicks as well as your wallet. Local farmers markets will always have some fun pickings for your chicken feed cocktails. Not to mention buying locally is better for the environment, too! But, that’s a post for another day.
Buying in bulk is another nifty trick. And it’s as easy as it sounds. Instead of buying just one or two bags, to buy whole palettes. It may seem like a lot, but in the long run, you will be saving some coin on chicken feed.
