Review on 🐣 Healthy and Natural: Scratch and Peck Feeds Organic Starter Chick Feed - Non-GMO Project Verified, Soy-Free, and Corn-Free by Erin Abbott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than Manna Pro in every way

This stuff is great. True, I've only been at it for a few days, but so far so good. I was planning on buying a chicken starter locally. Then I went over the clock trying to find organic chicken starters in Los Angeles. Since I have Prime, I ordered Manna Pro Organic Chick Starter which costs about $20 for Β£5 and is guaranteed to ship within two days. Seems like an expensive but safe bet to make sure I have it when the babies arrive. I'm new to this business, I didn't know what to compare, it doesn't seem bad. The first ingredients were corn and soy, which didn't excite me for health and environmental reasons. But the chickens ate it, they look healthy, good enough. It was time to order more food and I tried the Scratch and Peck appetizer. He arrived four days later. Which was cool and unexpected. These little ladies get a fairly varied diet and spend a lot of time outdoors under the hot California sun. I wouldn't say they're fussy but I'd say they're not suckers, they've tried everything and are still showing their individual preferences at just under 4 weeks. They were all crazy about it. Bonanza style. chicken party. Because they were so passionate about it, I became curious and compared. Visually, Manna Pro looks like tiny torn pieces of fragile cardboard left to bleach in the sun for a week. Scratch and Peck is more like a bag of soup spices mixed with ground granola. Some of the pieces looked too big for her, but when I poked around in her bedding later, I didn't see any leftovers; maybe they are used to it. Manna Pro didn't smell much, but this thing smelled like food - dry weed and a SMALL hint of cooked fish. Then I looked for packing data. When Manna Pro was shipped, he was almost 3 months old. When Scratch and Peck shipped, it was only a few days old. Even if the chicks liked it just as much, if it cost the same; That alone would make me buy the exact same thing again. Waiting another two days for the product to arrive and getting groceries that are three months fresh seems like a fair deal. Ok, now the packaging. Manna Pro, back plastic zipper. Convenient but wasteful. Scratch and Peck, strong paper wrapper, filled to the brim, tightly pressed, with ingredient list and product name embroidered in one seam. If these things are important to you too, getting this will make you feel better. I put groceries in large storage jars. costs finally. Manna Per Cardboard Crumb = $4 per pound. Scratch and peck delicious looking chicken granola for $1.60 a pound.
