Review on Naturally Free Organic Layer Feed for Chickens and Ducks - Non-GMO, Soy Free, and Corn Free: Scratch and Peck Feeds by Dave Skidmore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great food but beware!

Great food. My chickens and hens have always loved scratching and feeding forage. However, this feed is too large for the first week of life of the chicks. Up until day 12 I was using a coffee grinder which I never used until I got the chicks and this chick chow. From day one, you must also feed the chicks sand so that the chicks can digest it, since it is the sand that grinds up the food in their little bellies. Also note (this may not happen to all laying hens, but it happened to me) this can cause your hens to get stuck on eggs and lay abnormally large eggs due to the high amount of protein chicks need. . My suggestion when integrating flocks is to keep the 20% protein feed away from layers but where the chicks get it. Otherwise full thumbs up for the food.
