    Ah shit. The local TS is the only place that reliably stocks the duck feed I use. Other feeds don’t give my birds the exact nutrition they need, and my one bird needs the right nutrition because she’s prone to vitamin issues. -_-

      I usually use TSC wood pellets as cat litter since they’re cheap and just break down into sawdust with use. There’s other brands I can shift to, but I’ll pay a bit of a premium for it

      I have a small farm supply in my area that makes their own feed and stocks a huge variety of brands. Their house feed is cheaper than TSC and my girls love it.

      I only found out about it because I picked up a bunch of pallets to build a coop off of a guy who also raised chickens and we got to talking.

      Rural general stores may as well.

      I actually just googled “farm stores near me” and found 2 others that are still closed than either of my TSCs.

        Local feed store doesn’t sell duck feed. Their “all flock” feed is what I fed my birds until the one got vitamin issues that crippled her. The other local stores closed because the TSCs moved into the area

      Can you find it online and set up automatic deliveries? That’s how I get my cat’s hard to find food.

        I had that set up with the last brand of feed I used, but the orders kept getting delayed because the product just wasn’t getting restocked. Had to switch brands because of it.
