Wrong feed

I ordered layer feed with added calcium not chick feed, higher protein reduces calcium absorption and now my birds are laying thin shell eggs until they get through

I ordered layer feed with added calcium not chick feed, higher protein reduces calcium absorption and now my birds are laying thin shell eggs until they get through this feed. I'd be happy with a different brand if substitution is required but the chick feed has different mineral levels and it messes with their egg production and health to not get the proper feed.

Good Feed Fast Delivery

Nice smelling chick starter; even the grown hens prefer it over their pellets. Chewy's delivery was fast and they did bring this one up to the porch out of the rain,

Buy Only the Best

My sister inlaw told me about Kalmbach Feeds and I'm so glad she did. I was feeding my chickens & chicks Cargill feed brands and TSC brands and I just didn't care

My sister inlaw told me about Kalmbach Feeds and I'm so glad she did. I was feeding my chickens & chicks Cargill feed brands and TSC brands and I just didn't care much for it, nether did my chickens. So I started buying Kalmbach, and it is definitely worth it.

Peep-Peep!

The chick feed I ordered must be good: The Peeps have more than doubled in size. Chewy's service and delivery time were great, as usual!

Good Feed

Wish it was slightly higher in protein and fat, but generally speaking it’s a good food as it sits and my birds grew well on it

Bad Smell

We often get this product locally but they were out- we bought 2 bags from Chewy and the first bag had a rancid moldy smell to it so had to throw it out- the second

We often get this product locally but they were out- we bought 2 bags from Chewy and the first bag had a rancid moldy smell to it so had to throw it out- the second bag was fine but it’s still a pain in the butt to lose that much chicken feed- Not sure we will order more from them - comes from the same company but not sure what happened- maybe something wet got in the bag during the filling process- really awful Oder
