About Kalmbach Feeds Poultry Feeds

A Full Line of Poultry Feeds

Kalmbach makes feeds for every bird in your flock, from the moment they hatch to the time they mature. They offer over 50 different poultry products tailored for each of your birds, making them a one-stop-shop for all your chicken feed needs.

Quality. Consistency. Kalmbach.

Kalmbach takes pride in producing a quality product, every time. That’s why their feeds are fixed formulated, to ensure you get the exact same feed every time you open a bag!

Your Flock Will Squawk!

Kalmbach Feeds offers a complete line of poultry feed tailored to your flock’s specific needs. Your birds will simply love these feeds, and your family will love the fresh, nutritious eggs you get from your Kalmbach-fed birds.

Fixed Formulated

Kalmbach poultry feeds are fixed formulated by their Ph.D. poultry nutritionists. That means their feed formulas stay exactly the same for every batch, so you can get the consistency you want in every bag. Many other brands change their formulas as commodity prices change, but not Kalmbach Feeds. Their bag-to-bag consistency will give you peace of mind and help your flock thrive, too!

Proprietary Blends

Kalmbach premium poultry feeds contain LifeGuard and YolkProud proprietary blends to boost your birds’ health and yield beautiful, vibrant eggs.

LifeGuard

LifeGuard is an all-natural, proprietary blend of prebiotics, probiotics, essential oils and digestive enzymes. It helps introduce beneficial bacteria into the gut to maximize intestinal health, and the specially selected essential oils help reduce stress and support healthy immunity.

YolkProud

Poultry owners take pride in their egg quality, and one healthy egg indicator is the color of the yolk. That’s why they call this blend YolkProud—a natural blend of flower and vegetable extracts can help you get the beautiful, vibrant egg yolks you want, for the ultimate source of pride!

Everyone tells me that the eggs from my chickens are the most delicious! My hens have pretty much continued to produce eggs all winter. The shells are strong and the yolks are a rich orange color. I will never feed anything else.

I keep chickens, but at my age I just can't sling those bags over my shoulder and haul them around anymore. Now I get them delivered to my garage, and I can take the Feed out to the couple a couple of buckets at a time. Having the Feed delivered helps me continue to keep my small flock.

Solid Feed, not much powder

Switched to this from Modesto Milling. Consistent so far, smells like pizza sauce, chickens like it, very little powder, which is great! Only problem is delivery

Switched to this from Modesto Milling. Consistent so far, smells like pizza sauce, chickens like it, very little powder, which is great! Only problem is delivery guy/gal is lazy and won't bring it up to the porch, instead leaving it under the rain. What a waste.

They love it!

We took in a stray chicken. Initially we fed her scraps and she wouldn’t touch it. But then we got this stuff and she loved it! As soon as do her new chicken friends

Kalmbach is the best

This is the only brand I'll ever feed my chickens. I've done my research and it's the best. My girls love the pellets. I have tried the crumbles & henhouse reserve

This is the only brand I'll ever feed my chickens. I've done my research and it's the best. My girls love the pellets. I have tried the crumbles & henhouse reserve in the past. I find the crumbles are too small & end up being dust for the most part. They love the henhouse reserve because they can pick out their favorite pieces & leave out the pellets which contain the majority of the nutrition.

I switched my hens to this and thought it may be better for them but they do not like it. I ended up mixing it with their normal brand and it still appeared they picked through it. Maybe if it had been their first feed but I guess being a couple of years old they didn’t want a change

The size of the pellet!

Most of them are too big for my birds! Maybe it was just in that batch! Its usually a good product!

Good value, great size

My girls will eat it, but they aren't overly excited about it. I may try a different brand when this runs out.

Saved my birds feathers.

We were buying lower quality feed and my chickens had bare bottoms. (T molting or broody) this feed fixed the issue in a few months.
