Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert from Great feed ! We were looking for an organic poultry feed and chose Nature Smart Chic Starter / Grower. It provided the protein and ingredients we were after, and it is non-medicated. Kept our chicks on this feed for 18 weeks and started the transition to Nature Smart Layer feed. We had zero issues with the feed or the health of the chicks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Abigail from Flourishing Flock The quality of my Nutrena feed is reflected in my flock. I have beautifully feathered, strong, and healthy birds. I have solely fed Nutrena since day 1 and have very robust and happy birds. They are interactive and inquisitive. My birds grew so quickly on this protein rich feed and have strong immune symptoms! I will continue to feed Nutrena when I need to switch to layer feed. I’m confident I’m feeding my flock a feed with top notch ingredients and the results are clear in how they look and act! I’m a satisfied buyer!
