Kalmbach Feeds All Natural Non-GMO, Soy Free 5 Grain Premium Scratch Chicken Feed, 50-lb bag

I’ve been using this feed for a long time now and I’ve never had any problems but my last couple of orders was filled with little black bugs and it’s not bad for the chickens but eventually those little black bugs will make the feed stink -there needs to be some quality control and then there was a past order where I got a bag of scratch that was filled with some type of pricker weed seed if my chickens don’t eat that and it gets put to the compost pile now I have an invasive weed seed going crazy so between little black bugs and pricker Bush sticker seeds-something is definitely up with quality control but because it’s the only feed within my budget I’m still a loyal customer.

The mix is good , but it was full of little bugs, I know still good, and the chickens will eat the bugs, but I'm not happy to deal with those little creatures. I know this could happen every now and them, I just wish I had bought it at the store so I can take it and exchange it. For this matter I decided not to continue buying chicken feed online.

After buying for 30 years from my local feed store...I decided to try feed from Chewy. So sorry I didn’t try this feed sooner. You can just look at it and see the quality of feed. Of course my chickens love it. Totally recommend. Over 30 years of raising poultry I’ve learned something.

What I received was more along the lines of a chick feed. Some kind of crumble. I'm used to scratch grains looking like actual seeds/grain. I didn't discover this until after I opened the bag, so I didn't file a complaint. My birds were kinda like... what's this? They did eventually eat some of it.

BUGS! YIKES!! BAG CRAWLING WITH BUGS. SO DISGUSTING.

Fast, Fresh, and the girls love it. So hard to find anything for people or "pets" that hasn't got soy hidden somewhere.

I love this Kalmbach Feed scratch. I usually buy Purina scratch locally but when ordering on Chewy getting the Kalmbach. Great price for the non-GMO and soy-free products. Of course, chickens are such omnivores and will eat anything but they are really enjoying this scratch.

My chickens love the new food and the egg's shells are stronger and yellow golden orange.

I received the 50# bag 5 grain scratch just about 2 days after I ordered it. I was in good condition. I ordered it because it contains milo and I wanted to see how the girls like it. There are 13 hens and 8 are pullets. We have cool mornings now in the CA Central Valley and everybody wakes up ready to eat. I gave them the scratch grains and added black sunflower seeds to it. All loved it and were eating eagerly - so I am glad there were none not liking it. iT SMELLS good too and there is no dust either. I would suggest that they have double the tape on the big box that holds 50 lbs because it arrived partly open and it was harder to push it into the house.

I am breaking it down into 25 lb. bags for easier storage . Thanks for having CHEWY close to Sacramento,CA. … more

Birds loved it! Close to zero waste. I had been hunting for non gmo, soy free. This was the most affordable option but that hasn't impacted quality. 5 stars
