What goes into the chicken feed Rose Acres uses to feed chickens?
Natural grains grown by local family farmers. Our chicken feed is made with freshly ground corn, soybean meal (soybeans which we process & crush ourselves) as well as wheat & milo. Grains make up almost all of the chicken feed. A small amount of nutritional vitamin premix (just like a vitamin pill taken by people) is also added to help keep the chickens healthy and happy. A small amount of ground-up oyster shell and crushed lime can be added as well to help make the egg shells strong, and to help the chickens digest the grains better. Rose Acres NEVER adds growth hormones to our chickens feed to over stimulate to lay more eggs. Our chickens happiness and welfare is always our priority.
