Chicken Feed

Chickens need different feed at different times and ages, so we offer four different feeds designed specifically to meet your chickens' needs.

As with ALL of our feeds, each of our chicken feeds start with Non-GMO whole grains, legumes, and seeds.

 

  • Chick Starter is what your new little flock members need to help them grow strong.  This recipe is designed to help them build strong bones and muscles as they grow, which they do very quickly.  It is ground more finely so they can eat it easily and digest it as fully as possible.  A Fertrell's vitamin and mineral supplement is added to provide exactly what new chicks need. Feed it with confidence to both your egg and meat chicks.

  • Broiler/Grower is what your 4-6 week old chicks, who are called pullets, need.  They look like awkward adolescents at this age, and they still need a feed designed to help them build strong bones and muscles as they grow into laying hens or meat birds. A Fertrell's vitamin and mineral is added to provide exactly what your hungry adolescents need. Feed this until egg production begins or until butcher time.

​

IMPORTANT TO NOTES:

*  Do not feed a layer ration to chickens who are still growing as the amount of calcium is too much for their kidneys to process since they don't yet need it to produce egg shells.

*  Chickens need free choice access to appropriately sized grit for proper digestion. Grit is available on our Additional Products page.

*  Laying hens need free choice access to calcium for strong eggshells as some simply need more than others. Interestingly, they only eat it when they need it.  Oyster Shell Calcium is available on our Additional Products page.

*  ALL chickens need a constant, abundant supply of fresh, clean water.
