Chicks don't like it, and came in damaged

Package came in damaged. Bag was busted and spilled all over in the box. I took photos.

Great value and product

It’s a great price for a great product. My chicks love this. And of course, the chewy experience is AS ALWAYS remarkably pleasant.

Originally, I purchased all of my chicken feed from chewy because I was under the impression that the auto ship would be saving me so much. Even though I did get these foods at a discount. I did not get them for the original listed price therefore I did not save as much as I thought I would. With that said I am very disappointed with chewy not the quality of the food.

They Like it

The chicks like it and it stays firm and doesn't turn to powder like some chick foods I've used in the past.
