NatureWise Poultry Feeds

I feed the layer formula to my Anconas and really like the pelleted form since ducks can't clean up spills as well as chickens. It's a little more expensive than what I fed my chickens (Fleet Farm's Sprout layer feed), but it's not overly expensive, and to be able to get it in a pelleted form is worth it for the small flock I have. They seem to do well on it.

One funny thing I have experienced with this feed is that normally I purchase it from Mills Fleet Farm, but I once bought it from TSC and for some reason the recipe must have been a little different (I don't know if it was a fluke or whether it was actually mixed by a different supplier, even though the two stores are only a mile apart) - it smelled a little more molasses-y and it made their poop STINK! It was quite odd. I almost threw the bag away, but I ended up just suffering through it. When I went back to the Fleet Farm version it was just fine again. I don't know if it was just a weird batch, but if you do run into that issue but still want to try the feed, try another store.

I've been using Nutrena for my flock ever since the first chickens and have had no problems. The feed gives them good nutrition and energy. The price is also very reasonable.

My chickens have been doing great on it.Clean very little fines.I receive at least 2 coupons a month through the Nutrena newsletter,scoop from the coop and Flock minder.

I've never had a bad experience with NatureWise! They do their research and include all the nutrients chickens need at different ages. Plus, on the back of every bag, they give you feeding instructions and even tips on keeping your chickens healthy!! They come in the three forms of crumble, mash and pellets. My personal favorite (and my Girls' favorite!) is the crumbles. I will always use this brand with my chickens. I recommend it to everyone who wants to keep their chickens healthy and happy!!
