Backyard Chickens: Change-over of Daily Ration (GMO-free)

Went by Rufus' this week to get a couple of bags of layer crumble to hold us over through the Holidays and February. It seems he has changed his operation over to a locally sourced GMO-free pellet. Since he said his chickens don't seem to mind I figured why not? Not that I am all that concerned with GMO feed stocks, but since it already is soy and corn free, why not go all the way. Coming from a local mill it also is a buck cheaper per bag.

Here's the analysis:

Chickens are highly adaptable when it comes to diet but instead of changing them over cold-turkey, I'll slowly cut the new pellets into their current crumble so as not to cause any problems.
