Kalmach feeds

[sybonbon]

That's even better. I already use Chewy for my dog food. Thanks, I'll check it out...
Very pricey, there. I'll try my local Feed store first - but keep Chewy in mind

It is more at Chewy but then run specials sometimes. My feed store has an agreement with Kalmbach that if they buy in large quantities they can offset the lower price to their customers. I pay $17.50 of the 17% protein 50 lb. Bags.

For anyone who buys their Kalmbach off of chewy right now they are having a sale spend $100 and get a $30 gift card.

I have been ordering it from Chewy for a few bags now, and it has always been fresh (within 1 month or less of mill date), and almost no powder from shipping.

I've been using Kalmbach for about 3 years. I usually get 17% layer pellets & 20% flock maker crumbles. The layer was 20.19 on 1/10 & the flock maker was 20.90. I really like the 20% full plume & feathering feed, but have to order that special. Kalmbach is out of Sandusky Ohio & I believe they have plants in PA & IN also. The feed is always fresh.

My local mill can get it. They gave me a copy of retail product guide. Lots of options from Kalmback for both chickens and game birds.. (I do quail too)

with the feedback I’m getting from all of you I’m going to give it a try.

thanks!!

Called my local feed store. 50# 17% layer pellets for$18.99 -or - non GMO for $21.99

And the gal was very nice. This is the store I'm switching to. I have quite a bit of my old feed left, though.

My girls are suddenly off their lay. Mostly my older girls (18 months). I put peepers on a couple of them, because it was looking like they were picking feathers amongst themselves. But, now I'm wondering if they're molting. I found a few flight feathers in the run, today. But also noticed many little feathers under the roost, this morning. So... either they're molting, or someone else needs peepers

I like the Kalmbach line of feeds and can echo the positive reviews for it. It looks and smells like feed should and my chickens do well with it. I have to drive about 45 minutes to get it in Hurdle Mills, NC. In fact I'm going to make the trip down on Saturday morning and replenish my supply.

I e-mailed Kalmbach asking if they were associated with any of the purina type brands and they got right back to me saying they were independent. So I just ordered 200 # from chewi.com. I’ll give it a try.

Those prices are great, I am jealous.

with all the bs regarding feed I’m looking for an independent source.
one of my local guys has Kalmbach products.
they appear to be an independent manufacturer of animal feeds but at this point who the heck knows.

any info would be appreciated.

thanks!

I get Kalmbach at our local Family Farm & Home store. My ladies have done well on it for years.
