Feed your starters (0-8 weeks of age) the best feed so they become healthy & happy layer chickens. We recommend mash as chicks are so small they have difficult time eating pellet and whole grain - especially on the first few days. When your chickens start laying eggs youll notice: Larger eggs with deeper yolks + More eggs + Shinier plumage & brighter combs + Higher chicken activity Why is this the best chicken feed for starters (0-8 weeks)?
Formulated for Chickens Health: We worked with a nutritionist to create a complete feed to maximize chickens health. Other feeds maximize chicken growth (for market) or low cost (cheap ingredients). Certificated Organic & Certificated Non-GMO: We work with US certifiers & test constantly to ensure quality standards are met.
Other feeds say theyre natural which doesnt mean anything as they use GMO, mass produced grains which cost far less. 100% US Grown on Local Family Farms: We started Mile Four to bring our friends & families grains to market directly. Other feeds use cheap overseas grains of dubious organic quality or mass produced commercial grains.
Whole Grains: Chickens are visual eaters, theyll go nuts when you feed them. Other feeds are pellet & mash (which we offer) but whole grain is what chickens love. Corn-Free: Corn has little nutritional value. Other feeds use corn as its a cheap filler.
Soy-Free: Soy leads to chickens having deficiencies in vitamins including manganese, iron + more. Other feeds use soy as its cheap. Superior Ingredients: Mostly organic peas, wheat, alfalfa & barley. Other feeds use corn, soy & other cheap filler ingredients.
Non-medicated: Mile Four feed is a clean, healthy feed. Others feeds add medications to combat common chicken diseases such as coccidiosis. Milled Fresh: We mill fresh each week, your girls can tell the difference. Other feeds sit on the shelf for months.
