That amount of calcium will reek havok on 16 week old birds kidneys. Their kidneys mature at about the same time they start laying.If your pullets are 16 weeks or more it would be OK. Not for younger birds like an All Flock, as I believe it has 3.9% max calcium.
A person who sounded like a rep for the company mentioned earlier in the thread that the 'mite guard' acts on the birds feces to prevent mites.Same food. Feather fixer has mite guard. Whether it really does anything, i have no idea.

Exactly! I mostly free range my birds and supplement with feed. When I had younger birds, I used all flock and supplemented calcium free choice for my layers. When the younger hit "of age" I switched back to feather fixer.
Like I said the DE IN the food, eh, whatever, but the added omega 3 and nutrients really do make for some super plumage. I tried other, less expensive brands (like 2$ less a bag) last winter, and the girls refused it.
I've taken to a feeder with dry pellets of FF and a trough, which my wonderful DH made to my specs, in which I make a wet mash mixed with ACV. THEY LOVE IT! It isn't fermented, just wet. Silly birds.
Hi,
Tractor Supply on Route 30 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania just started carrying Naturewise Feather Fixer. It is on sale for 15.00 a 40 lb. bag , reg. 15.99 a bag. I sure hope they continue to carry it. I need to finish the feed I have before I can switch over to it.
Best,
Karen
