Big 12 pound bags of soda are available at WalMarts/Sams etc---often  
with the swimming pool supplies.  Usually about $6.00.

We live in a very cool climate, so maybe we won't get the weevils or
sour smell that sometimes comes from wet corn.  I scoop frequently
too which should help.

Thanks for the info, Beth.  We have a Tractor Supply about 12 miles
away, and tho we don't go there often, I want to try this chick feed.
We live in a very cool climate, so maybe we won't get the weevils or
sour smell that sometimes comes from wet corn.  I scoop frequently
