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!

Henhouse Reserve is crafted with real, wholesome vegetables, grains you can actually see, plus nutritious pellets that provide the perfect combination of protein, vitamins and minerals. But the best part is that Henhouse Reserve is rooster-approved, so there’s no need to feed the gentlemen something different. Your whole flock will love it!

Preferred Over Traditional Pellets

Chickens tend to prefer Henhouse Reserve over traditional layer pellets. Once you start feeding it, your flock will want nothing less. Fully fortified with vitamins, minerals and amino acids to produce strong eggshells and wholesome, tasty eggs, its 17% protein content lets you rest assured knowing your hens are getting everything they need.

Proprietary Blends

Henhouse Reserve contains LifeGuard and YolkGuard 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 and nurture beneficial bacteria in 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—this natural blend of flower and vegetable extracts can help you get the beautiful, vibrant egg yolks you want, for the ultimate source of pride!

Smells so good I would eat it

My girls were so happy when I switched to this chick feed. I even got a double yolk the next day from one of them! I knew this food was high quality was as soon

My girls were so happy when I switched to this chick feed. I even got a double yolk the next day from one of them! I knew this food was high quality was as soon as I opened the bag. Fragrances slapped me in the face. These ppl really looked into everything that healthy chicks would need. They put it all there. Protein, grit, seeds and a bunch of other good stuff. On their bag it mentions "happy chickens " I am glad they care about their happiness because I sure do. I love my girls! Highly recommend this feed!

Great Product; Terrible Delivery Service

The food is great, but FedEx is not. We have constant issues, from FedEx claiming our “business” was closed (we don’t have a business) or that our gated neighborhood

The food is great, but FedEx is not. We have constant issues, from FedEx claiming our “business” was closed (we don’t have a business) or that our gated neighborhood was inaccessible (we live on a farm; there is not an entry gate). Recently, the bags of chicken feed have been split open. Maybe that’s Chewy. Whoever it is, this is twice in a row. Kalmbach chicken feed, however, is great!

Great Quality...

This food is high quality, but that doesn't matter much when my girls won't eat the pellets. Talk about waste! I'm glad to see that they finally got one with crumbles

This food is high quality, but that doesn't matter much when my girls won't eat the pellets. Talk about waste! I'm glad to see that they finally got one with crumbles instead, but I'm debating whether to try it or stick with the Kalmbach plain crumbles because of the high price of the one with crumbles. If your flock is used to eating pellets, they might enjoy this food. And boy does it smell great! Like granola with molasses.

This food looked very healthy

My girls absolutely do love this stuff and they are great layers, healthy girls, and happy! I have a few under five years old, two 11-year-olds and two 13-year-olds!

My girls absolutely do love this stuff and they are great layers, healthy girls, and happy! I have a few under five years old, two 11-year-olds and two 13-year-olds! They’re all doing great on this food. I’ll gladly continue to feed this food to them!

The other food to get to this food first they leave the old food behind and they pick out this new food and eat it all.If I throw it on the ground, they eat from the ground scavenging and they do not touch the food container that has the pellets. The chickens clearly approve ;)!!

Great feed, but wish Kalmbach would eliminate the pellets!

This is a great feed, my flock loves it - except the pellets, the pellets are always left and it's a hassle to soak them to get them to eat them. Reviews stating

This is a great feed, my flock loves it - except the pellets, the pellets are always left and it's a hassle to soak them to get them to eat them. Reviews stating chickens won't eat the pellets are common, so why not remove them, Kalmbach?

Unsure of where to even begin. I’ve always loved Chewy and I’m truly not sure if it was the delivery service or how it was originally packaged but I received my henhouse reserve almost completely dismantled out of its packaging. Very irritating but using what I can and the rest was on my living room floor. Only good thing is it was delivered within 2 days

I’m picky about what I feed my birds and this one checks my boxes. Fresh bag, not dusty, no weird smell, and my flock cleaned it up. I’ve noticed good energy and steady laying. Great staple feed for a backyard flock.
