Dear team,
Kindly suggest good quality feed brand that you know
Your Swift response will be highly appreciated.

A lot of feeds are good. always check the manufacturing dates. the problem is that feeds that have stayed long tend to lose their nutritional value
i recommend hybrid, chikun, animal care etc
I normally use top feed produce for my chickens always and it’s making them fat
