I made the enchilada sauce and the tortillas that I made the corn chips out of. The eggs are from the backyard so those were free.

Tbh when I had chickens, I moved away from laying mash because I couldn't find any that was GMO and organic in my state. All my hens were between 1 and 4 when I rehomed them because I was relocating, and they did slow down in winters but I had enough eggs that I was giving them away. I did keep them on corn, table scraps and whatever I cleaned out of the fridge, though, and crushed oyster and egg shells.
Of course, everyone should do what's right for themselves.
They get the cutting board scraps and occasional table scraps. I'm literally half a mile from the Feed & Seed and it's even cheaper than Tractor Supply. The effort of creating alternate feed with consistent nutritional balance would be my wife's task and she isn't up for it.
I have zero issues with GMO. I'd prefer peanut over soy based feed but that's a big increase in costs. But, and this is crucial, if I attempt to interfere with my wife's feeding preferences I will be destroyed.
I hear you.
