I had a hard plastic square bottom bird feeder In this order. Although the person who packed the box used a mile of brown packing paper there was nothing between the feeder and the paper bag of chicken food. The feeder was on top of the bag and had poked a hole in the bag. Tape wouldn't stick to cover the hole because of the bag and food dust. Had to look for something to put the food in, dip it out of the bag which was torn on the side without getting it all over the house. I have back problems and had already scooted the bag into the house. Very time consuming and painful to put the food into another container.

This is a great, high quality, organic scratch-based feed for chickens and ducks. It is nutritionally complete and my girls LOVE it!! I strongly suggest soaking or fermenting it as this reduces dry consumption and increases the bioavailable vitamins and nutrients!! And helps with summer dehydration, too!

As a newer free range chicken owner, I bought this, some pellets and a 5-grain blend from TS. I use all 3 in their feeder. This seems to be what they like the best, the pellets the least. So, at least I know they are getting the good stuff and what they need. Their eggs have strong shells too. 6 months now and they all seem healthy and happy!

So my ducks are rescued. Someone clearly hand raised them and when they got too big, put them in the park near a manmade pond. When I finally brought them home, they were underweight and tired, but relatively healthy. But they won't eat scratch or pellets - they prefer dog food, which I assume they were raised on. That's fine, but a little high in protein for them. I am trying this to see if this will make a difference. They seem to at least eat some of it. Definitely more than any scratch I put down. Was very pleased with the "real" food - whole grains instead of processed. Since my girls are great at scrounging around the yard for bugs and such, I think they will eat more and more of this So my ducks are rescued.

I fed my chickens this 3 days ago and they still haven't touched it!! Sorry but from my experience most chickens don't like oats and the majority of this is oats, will not buy again. I have been raising chickens for 10 yrs now, they are free range and maybe a little picky but they did not like this

Chickens like it, but there is some very small texture grain and when that gets to the top chickens stop eating and I have to stir it up for them.

Scratch and Peck Feed is expensive compared to other organic brands, but this isn't an apples to apples comparison. You can see and smell the difference with this blend and our pullets love it! We have had many comments on the health of our birds; beautiful glossy feathers, bright eyes, and even their first eggs were perfect in every way.

Organic, Good quality feed. Not much chaff. Hens like it. A bit pricey

We decided to go to this food after our chickens started laying soft eggs from their layer feed from TS. Huge difference immediately and they get very excited everytime it is filled up!
