The only starter I will use

5 years ago

The only starter I will use. I've had issues with other brands but never with this one. I end up with beautiful healthy birds every year and get compliments from every buyer.

Bags are 40lb not 50!!!

6 years ago

The bags are advertised as 50lb but comes in 40 lb. I was shorted 70 lbs of feed as a result of this and when I complained, was basically told oh well that darn website and given no compensation

In 2025 I jumped on the local feed mill trend and started trying a local feed. I saw horrible results in my flocks because of this. I quickly came back to what keeps my flocks in the best of health, The Nutrena Naturewise line. The protein is better, the vitamins and minerals are better, and my flocks love the pellet size!

Yes, I recommend this product.
