Anyone feed natures best feeds?

[Desertguardian]

I just bought a bag of organic natures best layer feed crumbles because I couldn't get my usual brand. I see they have organic soy and corn here but I heard that is hard to get in this day of GMO ridden foods. I thought I'd try it but wonder if anyone here has used it and can let me know its a good brand. Thanks !

UPDATE::: I called the company and was pleased they answered much of my question. The are certified organic and buy mostly from US but sometimes Canada and other places. They do not buy from China. They been dealing with same companies for many years and vouch for their integrity. They don't sell on amazon so if you buy you take your own risk on who is selling, but they do recommend tractor supply to get their feed. It is a complete feed with nothing else needed. She said a few other things but too much to write, lol.

I haven't heard anything bad about it. Other than the price point, it looks to be acceptable.

Did you check some other reviews?

Did you check some other reviews?

I found a few reviews on amazon but didn't say too much info. One person loved it and others just complained of bugs in the bag. Someone said buy at tractor supply only because its fresher. Nothing else was said. I googled and nothing came up, just basic reviews for "what are 10 best chicken feeds", lol. Well I bought a bag so I guess I'll have to see for myself. :{

Nature's Best has been around for probably 20 years. They are out of Kreamer, PA & Kreamer Feed has been around longer than their organic line. I always had luck with the feed. Only thing I don't like is I can only get it at TSC, it used to be in my feed store.

I use this for my hens when I can’t get local organic layer feed (guy doesn’t stock it in the winter). It serves its purpose of not having glysophate or GMO in their food & therefore my eggs, and although it is expensive it is the cheapest organic feed I can find.

I know this thread is old but TSC is the best place to buy it. sadly, none of my local feed stores carry organic non gmo feeds

It has a really low Met number (0.25) so I can't recommend it, even as a layer feed, particularly if you are trying to hatch your own from your hens. Good Phos though. In fairness, good Met numbers and "Organic" are not often found together. 0.3 is considered the minimal acceptable recommend, and has been for a long while - decades. Some more modern research is suggesting the Met number benefits by being slightly higher (0.32) still.

and the ingredients are good, bugs and the like (or stale feed) comes of the way its stored by middlemen and farm stores and was particularly problematic during the Pandemic. Low turnover doesn't help either.

I used it before and my hens doesn't like it and their egg laying dropped significantly. I recently start to try Eggland's Best 19% Protein Organic Starter-Grower Crumbles, and like it a lot. Very good ingredients. My girls all love it. I got it from Chewy for $24 per 32lb. Not a bad price comparing to New country organics feed that I used for years. I have to use organic feed because my son has egg allergy but he has no problem with my chicken eggs.
