Scratch and Peck Feeds | Layer Mash for Chickens & Ducks | 40 lb Bag

Super happy with this feed. We have tried other options for soyfree/corn free feeds, because this one is definitely pricey. However, it's been very worthwhile for us, resulting in increased egg production and excellent quality of eggs. Last year when we switched to another organic, soy free corn free feed option, egg production went down quite a bit. When we went back to this, it went up quickly This was also during the time of losing light per day, when we would normally have fewer eggs however production actually increased. Very happy with this and have been using for several years now.

The price is absolutely 💯 worth it. My hens are thriving on this feed.ive started them on this from the beginning with the grower feed and now layer.i have switched to store bought regular feed and quickly switched back to scratch and peck . The difference is amazing with the egg laying, taste of eggs are incredible. Please buy, you won't be disappointed.

I can't say enough good stuff about this company, the people that work there or their product! Due to a shipping mistake (not theirs!) my package was returned. When I inquired where my package was I received an email back the same day letting me know what had happened. I also found out that they'd sent me an email notifying me immediately after the pkg was returned but it went to my spam and I missed it (again, not their fault). Upon my contacting the company they asked for an address confirmation and offered to send the feed out the next day. Being that they were responding to my second email late in the day, that's as quick as you can get! I offered to pay for the reshipping fee and they quickly refused, insisting they'd just send it off and hoped I'd be happy w/ my new feed. Now that you know they are helpful, kind and go the extra mile for their customers, let's talk about the product. This chicken feed is incredible. You can clearly identify REAL and healthy food in the feed. My birds have started running up to me when I walk outside since I scattered some on the ground for pecking the first day it arrived. It's lasting much, much longer than the pellets we've used in the past, saving me money and saving my back from ducking into the run to refill the food dish multiple times a week. Even better, my birds are laying 2x as many eggs, if not more. It's simply incredible!!! Imagine my shock when I opened the coop to find a PILE of eggs instead of a couple. I'm so happy with this feed, I love knowing my kids are reaping the benefits of healthier eggs and I'm thrilled to be offering a better life for my birds. Please consider ordering this feed, you'll never regret it!

This chicken feed is very high quality, and my 15 chickens love it the best out of any other feed I have given them. This feed has a lot of healthy, organic ingredients and not a lot of fillers, unlike most other feeds that tend to pack in a lot of fillers into each bag. The chickens also laid the most eggs ever, eating this feed. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, because it is quite expensive per pound. So if you're going to purchase it, you need to weigh whether you're willing to pay more for the feed to get more eggs. Good luck with your flock!

Our chickens love this feed! For anyone else interested in fermenting this feed to make it even more nutritious for your ladies and increase the quality of their eggs, it is extremely simple. Just add equal parts feed and water to a glass jar and shake it up a couple times throughout the day to keep it mixed. For the lid I use the white plastic Ball lids but you can use any standard lid, just let it vent a little here and there to keep it from getting too carbonated. After ~48 - 72 hrs it will be ready and look similar to what I have shown in the photo for this review. BONUS Tip! If you make your own milk Kefir at home, add ~1/4c of Kefir for every 4 cups of feed + 4 cups of water. This will help speed up the fermentation process, increase the probiotics and bioavailability of nutrients, and also prevent mold from growing on your fermented feed! I had issues with mold growing on top of the feed if I forgot to shake/stir it once per day, but our home made goat kefir completely eliminated the problem! Now we can leave our fermented feed on the counter for weeks and weeks without any issues of mold growing. Making goat or cow Kefir at home is also a very easy process. You can purchase high quality grains on Etsy and make sure to use a small amount of grains m (~0.5 - 1 tsp per 2-4 cups of milk) and unpasteurized milk which you can get from a local farmers market.

Girls laid all winter! We haven’t hit Spring yet and they’re back up to laying an egg per day each again! We’ve used this brand since they hatched and have had beautiful healthy birds with abundant organic egg production. We’re in the country and I’ve talked to lots of people at the feed stores who have said their chickens have had all kinds of ups and downs with laying issues across a variety of ages using the different feeds on the market. We’ve never had any such trouble thank God and I know it’s because this feed is consistently clean organic nutrition. I feed free choice plus ferment in small batches to keep it clean and fresh and it always smells pleasant and fresh. I’ve researched the other brands on the market and they just don’t compete quality or price wise. The price is fair even compared with making your own feed.

Need to supplement Calcium with this food. Within 3 weeks of switching over they were eating their own eggs and the shells were paper thin

I love this product. But most important is how healthy my chickens are. They produce an egg every single day and some are laying two. I start by feeding them this mash, that has sat in water for 24 hrs, every morning in addition to layer feed, fresh greens, and meal worms.
