"Nature Smart" chicken feed...

Date sort Score sort
That's what I use. The chickens haven't complained. They just gave me 6 eggs for 6 chickens on 12 hours of light. The yolks are dark and the eggs are large. The only issue I have is that it's only 16% protein. I have mixed a bag of various seeds which bump up their protein intake a bit.
 
I just started feeding a bag of Nature Smart organic chick starter/grower (20% protein I think) to my chicks. They like it.

I mix my own feed, but for my chicks, I do feed crumbles.

More importantly, it passes the sniff test! Some of the feeds really smell BAD.
 
I just wanted to let people know that I have been using this brand chick starter (20%) protein and I am really happy with it.

Hi
I have looked for a organic feed I have tried others and this is the one my hens and rooster love. my eggs are so yummy with almost a orange yolk and the flavor is so good. I also feed nature smart crack corn as well. its a little more money but well worth it. if you are selling your eggs you will have return customers. my hens are paying for their.own feed through egg sales
 
My local Back Yard Farmer delivers this brand to my door if I order it...But....I have never ordered or used it because of the price. Do you all, who have used it, have to pay $30 per 40 lb. bag? I'm wondering if I would be paying more than I would have to. Also the bags say the chick feed is 20% protein; Layer pellets 16%, and organic NON-GMO is only 8% protein......I wonder why the non-GMO would only have 8% protein and since the layer pellets are not labeled......it must be GMO??? I thought organic would mean Non-GMO? Apparently not.

Yes it is $30 per 40 lb bag including tax. $28 before tax I think.

Organic is non-GMO.

Your 8% protein is most likely corn. Corn is 7-9% protein.
