They don't list the ingredient because it is their trade secret.It they listed it anybody could use it.Like when a food product says "spices" they don't have to publicly give out their secret recipe.It isn't fair to spend your time ,money and research to then just give it away to your competitors.

Thought I'd toss my hat into this ring...this year was an especially hard molt with ALL the birds, young and old. I had 1 that was especially hard hit and lingering, lingering, lingering, in this never ending molt. Most have been going at it since August!

I can't be certain, as I didn't divide my flock in half, but after 2 weeks I AM seeing a noticeable change in my flock, and one that I don't think would have just happened no matter what I fed. They really are all looking glossier, fatter, and overall just better.

The bird that was looking especially bad with molt has totally feathered in and starting to look much plumper. (She had me worried).

I had already had them on a 20% layer, wormed them (twice), and put them on a booster, adding BOSS to the scratch...but no big perk up this time after those efforts. So I tried the Nutrena Feather Fixer thinking "what could I lose?"

It has me enough of a believer that I will try it again. I am leaving my flock on it this winter, and may keep them on it indefinitely as for me it is fairly reasonably priced compared to the 20% Albers layer I had my flock on (which was not doing anything for them).

No permanent recommendation, but I will keep using it and watching.

My 2 cents.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh, and I think egg production is picking up a bit too...too early to say for certain, but I got a new pullet egg today from pullets that are old enough but not in lay yet...thought I'd have to wait for the longer daylight hours in spring.

Nutrena Feather Fixer IM ABOUT TO TRY IT, so we shall see, but one thing my hens dont like pellets, we had tried to feed pellet's & it was just tossed out & lying all over the floor, and my hens were pretty unhappy & hungry to boot ...? i wish they would make this Feather Fixer Poultry Feed in a crumbles & so why don't they...? it will take weeks for my hens to even start to try it, & gosh that makes me very unhappy to say the least,

so geezers i guess we will have to try to crush it up...? cant wait to tell the hubby that ..lol....

MY UP DATE 12 ,15, 15 on feather fixer, so far in the last few days my hens wont eat it at all & its been tossed all over the floor, but still praying they would at least try it...??

UP DATE 12 18 15 my hens hate it....lol.. & tossed that feather fixer feed all over the floors & even made it into a pile of a mushy mess so im cooking for them in this cold weather my whole food organic warm mash of my own recipe with all the best foods that will help them to keep laying wile molting in winter & what i should have done in the first place ..! southern AZ has been very cold , so far we had weeks of below freezing at night,

Be careful with feather fixer it’s high in calcium so not good for non laying breeds and roosters or chicks. It’s basically layer pellets
