Hi all, The NatureWise Feather Fixer with Mite-Fighter is now listed on our website, you can learn about it at www.featherfixer.com The ingredient that fights mites is natural, non-drug and non-chemical. It acts in the feces as it is passed through the chicken to deter mites from congregating...

jtallent, I am so sorry you've had a negative experience with our feed! Believe me, that is not the norm for our products and we would like to help fix this situation. I am going to send you a PM asking for the lot number from the tag, the store you are shopping at, etc. and we will help make...

Hi Duckiegirl, Country Feeds Layer is probably not the best option for your laying ducks. Country Feeds All Flock 18% would be a better choice - this feed is designed for multiple species like ducks and therefore has a more appropriate vitamin/mineral profile. By adding free choice oyster shell...

A good rule to follow when you are feeding scratch: throw out what your birds will consume in about 15 minutes once per day. That should be just enough for a treat, but not enough to dilute the protein and vitamin/mineral content of the layer ration. I tell my customers to feed no more than 15%...

Hi Everyone, We just did a little article on how to feed molting chickens so I hope no one will mind if I post it here - it has some good info in it : During molt, chickens typically stop laying eggs and use this time to build up their nutrient reserves. Even though they are not laying, it is...

Quote: Hi Clint, These are great questions. Some of this information is proprietary, but there are some details I will be able to share with you. Can you PM me and let me know where you are located and also if you are using Naturewise or Country Feeds All Flock? Tiffany

Whats the difference between the naturewise and country feeds scratch?? The differences in these two bags of scratch will vary greatly depending on your region. I can speak to what you would see in Boise since I am near your area, but if anyone else wants to know other mixes I can look it up...

Yep, it should say on the tag for the medicated feed if there is a withdrawal time required. Typically, medications like amprolium are safe to use right up until butcher time but you need to check the tag to make sure.

There are actually some pretty significant differences between the Naturewise and Country Feeds (besides just the bags!) Naturewise is a natural, all vegetarian diet. It is more of the "premium" of the two. Includes prebiotics and probiotics for improved digestion and feed utilization. It has...

annie3001 - so sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our feed! Nutrena stands behind its products 100% and if there is an issue I would like to help you resolve it. Please PM me with the name of the the feed store where you purchased the feed and the date you bought it. I look...

Nutrena is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN but we have mills all over the country, including one just North of Seattle in Burlington, WA. Yes, All Flock is a relatively new product - we launched the formula early this spring and while it may not be available everywhere yet, it is catching on...

So here's the low down on the Nutrena All Flock - it is designed to be fed to mixed species of poultry so you can feed your ducks, chickens, geese, etc all together without worrying about seperating them and buying different feeds. The only thing to remember is that you need to supplement with...

I agree. At 16 weeks you should be good to start on the layer feed, and if you aren't doing it already some free choice oyster shell. Here's hoping you see some eggs soon!

DVTO2 - sorry to hear that you have had some drop production! I just wanted to chime in and say this is NOT typical of Nutrena feed - we really pride ourselves on providing high quality, nutritious feed. If you don't mind, could you contact me directly via PM? I would love to get some more info...

Sorry, I can't see anything...

Medicated vs. Non medicated chick starter - usually the only difference is the presence of medication (usually deccox or amprolium) which is a coccidiostat. This medication helps prevent coccidiosis, which is the leading cause of death in chicks There are a couple of reasons why you would feed...

Mash is also a generic term that people use for feed. Back in the day before pellets were able to be easily made, chicken feed consisted of ground grains that resembled coarse flour. The standard name for that was mash. Very few commercial feeds are in this form today simply because of the huge...

If your feed is medicated, it has to state that on the tag. Usually it is right up top, listed by itself as "active drug ingredient". Common GBS medications are amprolium, deccox, etc. And yes, you can feed ducklings GBS also, but you don't want to do so if your particular type of feed is...

The All Flock or Flock Raiser will be just fine for your bantams - you can switch to layer feed at 16 weeks or when you see the first egg. Hope this helps - have fun!
