They "re made" their product.... new bags,they layers mash is extremely ground,almost like sawdust,no distinct corn, if you look close at it it kind of looks like brown dandruff flakes

I tend to avoid feeds that don't directly state their feed on the labels, last I checked the AGland company stated things on their ingredients list like green roughage... And other things kind of like that. Though I have my favorites, all of my animals are subject to the stewpot if they need culled for anything, so I like to know what they, and indirectly I, am eating. That's why I like manna pro gro. They still have things like soy *sigh* but at least the ingredients read as they are, alfalfa, wheat middling... Etc.

That being said, I have a friend that feeds country acres and AGland, and has has healthy, if not a bit overweight animals, so I guess it can't be that bad...

Well I have had amazing results using "blue Seal" feed with my layer hens, (and rabbits, which I use their 18% pellets) when my fees store is closed that sells blue seal and Im down to the last scoop of mash, since I sometimes forget to stock up before im done :x im guilty of being a scatter brain, Then Im forced to go to Agway and pick up a bag of their mash, which by the way is 4 more dollars per 50 lb bag than blue seal, and blue seal is a MUCHHHHHHH higher quality of chicken food... kind of like comparing new york strip steak to ground chuck :lol: well the month I feed agways food, I find that egg production starts to dwindle byu the end of the second week, shells become thinner and the weight of the egg also lessons, I mean Im not doing this in a completely controlled enviroment but I know what my girls eat lol, then I go back to blue seal, the eggs start gaining weight and im getting a steady amount of eggs again by the 2nd week and no more thin shells :explanation: ...Also Blue seals feed has nice pieces of corn in it that you can see,no flakes and minced other products, over all it looks like a more heartier feed, it just aggravates me that agway has the gull to charge so much more for their feed, on top of having such a less comperable product.

Thanks guys for listening, what do ya'll think
