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!

Questions & Answers

6 Customer Questions


Is this product a stand alone starter feed for chicks or is it an additive?


What percentage of protein is in this product for layer chickens?

Answer by ChewyApr 07, 2025
This grit is a source of calcium and does not contain protein.

What is the average grit size and are there any extra amendments or ingredients in this product, or is it pure crushed granite?

Answer by ChewyJul 07, 2025
The average grit size is 1/16. It is pure granite, and does not include any other ingredients.

Are these sharp pieces, or smoother? Would it be suitable for a droppings tray where the chickens sometimes walk?

Answer by ChewyJan 05, 2026
They are not sharp like rocks but should be placed in a tray.

I’ve been offering Kalmbach Feeds Starter/Grower Grit Crumble alongside my regular feed, and it’s been a fantastic addition for my young flock. The crumble is the perfect size for chicks and pullets, and it helps support healthy digestion as they transition to eating a wider variety of foods. It’s clean, easy to serve, and the 50-lb bag lasts a long time. I feel confident knowing I’m giving them what they need to grow strong and thrive. Highly recommend for anyone raising young birds!

Small Grit in a sturdy bag

It's what I needed for my starter chicks to last for quite some time. So nice to have the heavy bag delivered too.
