I have been raising chickens and other poultry for over 40 years. In recent years, I had settled on Blue Seal feed products sold in the next town over; in additon to what the hens collected during free roaming and garden scraps I fed them. Although quite expensive, by comparison, I was satisfied with the Blue Seal feed products. The hens always laid well and produced a deep orange yolked egg. When Tractor Supply Co. opened in my town I was excited to have a local feed supply with convenient shopping hours. At first they didn't carry the Blue Seal product line, so I tried the DuMor poultry feeds starting in May 2012. DuMor was about $2 cheaper then what I was used to paying for. so great ( I thought). Around about June I noticed the yolks of the eggs had turned a bright yellow like the ones you buy in the store. One day I happened to ignore the price take time to read the Purina SunFresh Recipie bag and was immediately impressed with the no-meat products factor. Although more expensive than DuMor, I decided to try it. BINGO!!! In about two weeks, the yolks of my eggs returned to the deep orange color that I was used to. I also noticed an increase in egg production. Although Dumor is cheaper and they now carry Blue Seal feeds, I have decided to stay with the Purina Sun-Fresh Recipie. All I can say is you get what you pay for and you pay for what you want...In this case deep orange yolk eggs and lots of them.

I have fed Purina to my dogs, cats and now chickens. I have always been pleased with their products but not happy with their pellets. There are few pellets in this mix, it is mostly crumbles and the last few bags have been moldy. Even tried a different store and same problem. Poor quality control and production for their chicken feed lately. I'm switching to Nutrena Nature Wise, nice firm pellets and the gals love it. Their feathers are nice and they're eating this well.
