Chicken food??

[SilkieLady608]

I'm looking for a chicken food that comes in crumble(because I have silkies, and that's easier for them to eat). Natural, no gmo, has Omegas and vitamins in it. I found kalmbach feed had the things I was looking for, but is it good?
I'm always looking for better ways to raise my chickens.

It is at a feed store and you can pick whatever brand you want.

Kalmbach seems to be a very good feed. I fed both the natural & the organic for awhile & my birds did well. It was so nice to have something around here other than Purina.

I’ve used a few kinds of Kalmbach feed and have been happy with it. Birds very healthy. Interestingly, for convenience I bought some other feed for some quail from TSC for a couple of months, and even my tween noted how scraggly/unhealthy the birds had become, so we went back to a local mill feed then back to Kalmbach. We no longer have the quail, but my chickens have been on Kalmbach for months and quite healthy!

I am a Purina All Flock fan......my flock has thrived on it!

Did you want Layer or are you doing calcium on the side?

Oh and pellets come is several sizes. Nutrena Hearty Hen is 18% Soy and GMO free and is the smaller pellet size so it's good for Bantams. Before that I was using Purina Omega 3 which is also the small pellets.

Well I thought it was GMO free but not seeing that in the description now.

Im new to this as well.
I have 3 buff Brahmas that are around 19weeks old, and Im feeding them NatureWise Meatbird w/ 22% protein crumble (Im almost out of it), should I stick to it or buy different feed? Any tips would help a lot. Thanks!

I would switch to a Layer blend or an all flock. That is pretty high protein and is intended for the cornish X meat birds, or as a starter for ducks, and gamefowl. The 18% would have been more ideal for them.
