MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR 27 For Purina Nutritionist Dr. Mikelle Roeder, a healthy chicken is just as important as a delicious egg. That’s why she makes sure Purina feed gives your chicks what they need to grow into healthy birds. And as they start laying eggs, Purina provides all the nutrients needed for strong shells and rich golden yolks. So when it comes to choosing between the chicken and the egg, choose both with Purina.
