Q: Do you make a feed that is Soy Free AND Corn Free? I don't really understand why corn and soy both continue to be used in chicken feed- except that they are cheap fillers--neither are good for them or people consuming their eggs.

4 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your inquiry. Corn is used as the main grain poultry feeds because it is highly digestible and a good source of dietary energy. We do not offer a corn and soy free diet for poultry.

Soy free feed hard to find

Quality has gone down hill.

5 years ago
I’ve fed this for a long time but recently I noticed that 1) the feed pellets breaks down into dust really fast, 2) my hens aren’t eating much of it, 3) they’ve quit laying and 4) the last eggs they did lay have shells so thin then they break with barely a touch. What is going on? I’m going to have to switch feeds after I use this use this up or I may just return the unopened bags.

They eat it better than the regular layer.

3 months ago
They still take the starter grower away from the peeps when I have them. They like starter grower better but most of them will not take in sufficient oyster shell to keep shells strong. So Hearty Hen & also the Feather Fixer seems to suite my big Marans, Brahmas & Jersey Giants.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Make the switch, you won’t regret it!

4 months ago
We recently switched our girls to this feed and are very happy with it! I did my research and felt it was a great option compared to our prior feed. When I opened the bag I knew I made the right choice. It smelled SO good! And it actually smells like the ingredients which immediately made me feel good about my decision. We have two girls that just started laying and I’m thrilled with how their first eggs look and the color of their yolks. They also seem to be eating a bit more which I feel is a good thing.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Soy free layer feed that smells like Thanksgiving!

a year ago
I was glad to find this soy free chicken feed. I had to special order it initially, but recently the local store seems to have it in stock half the time. I also like the small pellet size, and the awesome aroma!! To me, it smells like Thanksgiving. LOL!! When I first purchased it, I was worried about it being pelleted as my chickens were raised on crumbles. But the pellets are so small, that my 20 chickens ate it without any issues. I've used another brand of crumbles for over 15 years. However, in the recent few years its becoming increasingly powdered. Literally 50% of the bag was powder, which the chicks refused to eat. I got fed up one day and started looking for a replacement. So GLAD I did!!! I'll purchase for as long as I have chickens, or it's no longer available for some reason. Healthier, soy free layer feed!!! AAA+++

Good nutritional value

I have been feeding Hearty Hen to my chickens for over 5 years now, and they are so healthy and happy. Even though my oldest 2 are now 5 years old, they lay 3-4 eggs every week. And my younger hens even more. I think the high protein content is helping to keep them healthy.
