About this item

  • Complete Feed For Chickens And Ducks - A 16% protein mash feed formulated with organic whole grains, sustainable grub protein, essential oils, vitamins, and minerals to help your flock grow strong muscles, healthy bones, and fluffy feathers.
  • Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified ensures your flock is receiving the healthiest quality feed available. Soy-Free, Corn-Free, and Non-Medicated ensures that allergens and unnecessary ingredients do not wind up in your chicken feeder.
  • Feed Dry or Fermented - It's all about options! Dry is great for flocks who peck their feeder clean which ensures they receive complete nutrition. Fermented is great for picky flocks as it doesn't let them pick out their favorite ingredients.
  • Tasty and Nutritious - Innovative GRUB protein is fabulous for flocks and Mother Earth. Grubs save pre-consumer food waste headed to landfills by upcycling into a premium, sustainable nutrition high in protein and energy. Grubs are a flock favorite.
  • Grown and Milled in North America - All of our feeds are made in the USA and our ingredients are sourced from North America (USA and Canada). We are committed to supporting farmers and keeping business local.

Great Chicken Feed! Even Better Fermented!!!
5 Stars
Great Chicken Feed! Even Better Fermented!!!
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.
