I have only two hens, and I limit the amount of scratch I give them, so as a consequence, I am realizing that the bin of scratch I have is a year old now. They sell it only in 25-lb bags, so I had to get a lot at once. The brand is Scratch 'n' Peck, and it looks like it is mostly whole grains with a bit of dried corn. Does scratch become stale and unsafe for birds to eat? I keep the bin inside the house, and it is airtight, so no moisture or bugs can get in.
