my baby chicks under 8 weeks, did not eat the feed for starter chicks. They wasted about 3/4 of it and the hens also wouldn't eat it. Sorry but likely not going to go with your very recommended brand for growing out the chicks.


is this considered step 2 in chicken feed? for 8-20 week old birds?

Answer by ChewyJul 02, 2021
This food can be fed continuously as the sole ration to laying chicks from hatch to laying age (approximately 16 weeks) and to broilers, ducks, geese, and other meat-type poultry from hatch until harvest weight.

What is the amount of Niacin in this feed?

Answer by ChewyFeb 26, 2021
This contains 36 mg per pound which meets or exceeds the niacin requirement for ducks and other waterfowl.

Is this non-medicated?

Answer by ChewyApr 29, 2021
This is a non medicated feed that is a complete, balanced nutrition for starting laying chicks and meatbirds.

I was worried they wouldn’t like the crumbles but they love it! They empty their feeder twice a day since we switched to this feed. They are all 10w today so still growing but the success with this has me excited to eventually try the henhouse reserve

I mix a bag of the 20% grower I mix a bag of Hen House reserve and a bag of Hen House Reserve love bug for my feed mix I love these crumbles they add a little bit of extra protein to the mix the chickens obviously prefer the hen house Reserve pieces but I do like that they get this more whole complete food in there as well. I'll never not buy this brand of food

Great for baby chicks

We raised our baby chicks on this until they were laying age and all of them thrived and were healthy.

Chickens apparently hated it!

They would look at it and then turn away. Even when I tried switching around the bowls of food, they would figure it out and always go away from these crumbles

They would look at it and then turn away. Even when I tried switching around the bowls of food, they would figure it out and always go away from these crumbles. It didn't smell bad, so I don't know what the problem was. I ended up giving the rest away ... but don't know if my friend's chickens liked it any better.

Crumble was all powder

Chickens normally like this food. Last bag was all powder, noticed as soon as I opened. Chickens will not eat unless I wet.

I really like this layer feed. And my chickens really go for it. They are healthy and happy and lay wonderful eggs with dark yellow yokes almost every day. What more could I ask for. I highly recommend this layer feed for laying hens.

Did not receive package

I actually never got this package and so I had to order another bag. Is there anyway to get a refund ? Or credit ?

Fresh aroma

Adding this for my layers given this cold northern Wisconsin weather. They are eating with no issues.
