Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashlyn from Easy Switch and Nutrient Rich My hens far prefer this feed to Ranch Pro from Atwood’s. The pelleted form is perfect. I was concerned it would be too big after being on a crumble, but I had zero issues. It smells amazing, and they genuinely do seem healthier on it. They love it and so do we! I would recommend this feed, and will continue feeding our girls this! I especially love the oregano and the darker healthier yolks we are seeing thanks to those special ingredients like Marigold. It’s easy to switch and I wouldn’t look back.
