Understanding Chicken Feed Types

When purchasing poultry feed, it can be confusing to decide which form to buy. It's important to understand the different chicken feed types, as each one offers unique benefits tailored to specific needs.


Crumbles: The Ideal Feed for Baby Chicks

When it comes to feeding baby chicks, crumbles are an excellent choice. These tiny, micron-sized particles are perfect for ensuring proper intake and nutrition for the little ones. The small size makes it easier for chicks to consume and digest the feed, promoting healthy growth and development.


Meal Form: A Smorgasbord of Ingredients

One of the benefits of using meal form feed is that it offers a variety of ingredients for chickens to eat at their leisure. This includes oats, rolled corn, soybean meal, minerals, and more. Consumers appreciate meal form feed because they can see the individual components of the product they are using, which adds a level of transparency and trust.


Pelleted Feeds: Consistency and Efficiency

Pelleted feeds offer several advantages, including reduced shrinkage and consistent nutrition in every bite. This consistency leads to improved feed efficiency and a noticeable performance response in the chicks. In no soy layer feeds, pelleting helps minimize sorting, ensuring that each chick gets a balanced diet without the need for additional sorting.


Scratch Grain: Enhancing Poultry Health

Our scratch grain, enriched with highly available trace minerals, offers multiple benefits for poultry health by reducing skin scratches, improving foot pad quality, and boosting immunity. This ensures your birds maintain healthy skin, move comfortably, and stay disease-free, leading to a happier, healthier, and more productive flock.
