My ducklings are growing big and strong!

I have been feeding this to my 2.5 Week old ducklings from day 1. I mix in a brewers yeast supplement so they get enough niacin, and they are all growing at a healthy rate. This feed is not too dusty, and it actually smells so good that I almost want a taste! I’m glad you can buy it in 50lb bags, because my girls eat ravenously! Would definitely recommend.

We purchased a small bag from another source when we got our chicks and a good quarter to third was just dust. I was impressed when I opened up the bag and found only crumbles on top. I thought for sure when I poured it onto our container the dust would be on the bottom of the bag but to my surprise it was all crumbles! I also love the price and that it's Non-GMO. The big bonus is that it comes right to my door! Will definitely order again.

You can just tell the difference in the way it smells and the fact that I have bought local chick starter feed and not even 2 hours after putting it in a barrel

Mold at bottom of feed bag

The chicks seemed quite happy with the feed until we got to the bottom of the bag to find it full of mold, we are on high alert for sick chicks now.

This batch of chicks grew much faster than any of our previous, and I think it’s the feed. We always raise an assortment of rare breeds, and often they are slow

This batch of chicks grew much faster than any of our previous, and I think it’s the feed. We always raise an assortment of rare breeds, and often they are slow growers. This feed is well worth the slightly higher cost.
