Hi everyone,
I'm new to Ducks - I have 3 Muscovy females, 13 months old. 9 days ago my lowman on the totem pole, Lucy, was attacked by my dog. She survived and I have just put her back out with my other two - who promptly attacked her. I anticipated this and had redone the enclosure so she...

Oh -but it was helpful! I started this thread originally to see what other people were feeding and to find some like minded folks! Thanks for joining the conversation and giving me some feed back on the feed. I can now go to my local stores with this companies info and ask them if they would...
Wow - that was a daunting read - thanks for posting the link. I get it. I never thought to look up the certification guide . The more you know, right?
I have a good friend say to me on this type of subject - " Everyone's journey is different, for some people it's simply buying organic cookies...
I found them when I was doing a search for the Agway brand mentioned before this drifted :) Thank you! No one carries this product in the feed stores near me, so I was not aware of it.
There are some really interesting posts on this thread - you won't need to sift through too much ugly to...
Ok - I think I am getting the hang of this deal - don"t hit "reply" just hit quote -
Yes - I was curious about other brands out there like Scratch and Peck - also wanted to connect with people who are going this route with feeding. I'm really happy with how my hens are looking and behaving...
Chickengeorgeto - I respectfully don't agree with you . The cons far outweigh the pros. People are getting sicker and the creatures that are part of the process for food growth are dying.
I was using the Sandpoint reference for the person from Boise - not to be shady about where I was from - which would be - Shadow Hills California, Los Angeles County. And someone asked me where in Montana Sandpoint was, so I replied to them. Please take a moment to breathe, you're coming off as...
For me on a personal level, I just try not to support any company that is tied to Monsanto - which is probably a little Pollyanna at this point, but at least i feel like I am doing something - even if it is small.
If I can feed my animals the best produced products that I can afford with the...
Sandpoint is in Idaho, I was referencing a landmark town that we were near. Thompson Falls / Clark Fork Valley was were I used to be. Scratch & Peck is in Spokane.
That still winds up being less expensive than Scratch and Peck -
Let me ask you a question - when I have called on a company stating that their feed is Organic - I have had answers that vary - would that be employee ignorance?-and then there are some of the smaller farmers around here that have...
Thanks! I looked them up and the one they carry looks like a great company- but I think they service Eastern states only, I have never seen the brand in any of my stores .The feed all costs the same apparently anyhow :) I did find another company while I was searching that is based in Northern...
Hi Cindy,
Could not tell you now - but I could only find Scratch & Peck as a verified Non GMO source of feed. I have been using it for over a year now. If I come across any of the companies that i looked into previously I will let you know.
A few examples in human items that are owned by...
Scratch & Peck is located in Washington - do you have a Quality Supply or Tractor Supply that might be interested in carrying it? I just kept asking our local suppliers until I found one that was interested in cornering the market for our area. They do require a rather large order - but you...
Here I have found that Organic does not always mean Non GMO, the companies will tell me that the the product is raised organically, but they use modified seed. There is so much trickery in labels, I think it's worse in Southern California. I find that Northern California folks have more options...
I use Scratch and Peck Feed for my girls. Does anyone else use anything like this? This has been the only feed that I could find that is verified NON GMO. I finally talked one of our hay dealers into carrying it locally so I don't have to make the 50 mile round trip drive to Theresa's in Simi...
