Q: I have a bag of the chick starter and the crumble has turned a gray color. Does this mean the food has gone bad. The birds are not eating it much. They have knocked it out of the feeder with their beaks.
4 months ago- A: Yes, based on the color change and your birds' refusal to eat it, the food has likely gone bad. Gray coloring in chicken crumbles is a significant warning sign that the feed is old, stale, or contaminated with mold.4 months agoHelpful?
Q: Can you use this feed with full grown silkies along with their chicks. I have all age silkies that eat together
9 months ago- A: Thank you for your question. You can feed this to full grown silkies along with chicks. If you also have laying chickens in your flock, we recommend that you put out a separate feeder with just oyster shells or calcium chips so that they can produce stong egg shells. If you would like to discuss further, please call us at 800.767.4537, we be happy to talk with you.9 months agoHelpful?
Q: How much does a chicken need per week between eight weeks of age and laying status?
10 months ago- A: Hello, thank you for your question. A chicken typically eats 1.5 to 2 lbs. of feed per week from 8 weeks to point of lay (around 18–20 weeks). That’s roughly 17 to 20 lbs. per bird total over that period.10 months agoHelpful?
Q: Can this be used for meat birds such as cornish rocks?
a year ago- A: Thank you for your question. Yes, this product can be used for Cornish Rocks. Nature's Best Organic Starter has a protein level of 20% which is the recommended protein percentage for Cornish Rocks.a year agoHelpful?

a year ago- A: Thank you for your question Ann. Nature's Best Organic Chick Starter/Grower does not contain any grit. Please contact us at (800) 767-4537 if you have any other questions.a year agoHelpful?
Q: How many pounds of chick starter is needed per month for 50 chicks?
a year ago- A: For the first 8 weeks of life, each chick will eat about 3/4 of a pound of feed per week. 50 chicks will need roughly four bags of Nature's Best Organic Starter Feed per month.a year agoHelpful?
Q: Is it OK to feed ducks and chicks the same starter food? I have both mixed together and wondering what food would be safe to feed both my baby ducklings and my baby chicks. 
a year ago- A: Hello, Thank you for your question. This is the information that we received from the manufacturer. “I do not recommend that. While there is nothing toxic to ducks in the chick starter grower, they have different nutrient requirements. The protein in the chick starter is pretty high for ducks, and the micronutrients are not tailored to what the ducks need. The best situation would be feeding them separately until they reach maturity. We recommend feeding our Nature’s Best Organic Chick Starter Grower and our Nature’s Best Organic Duck Crumble respectively.”a year agoHelpful?
Q: I have a mixed flock with chicks and ducklings. What is the best natures best feex for my mixed flock.
2 years ago- A: Hi, We do not have a Nature's Best feed that has been tested for both chicks and ducklings. You might try mixing the two products. We always recommend consulting your vet. I've included the link to the duckling feed below. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/natures-best-organic-feeds-duck-crumbles-25-lb-bm0231c2 years agoHelpful?
