Scratch and Peck Feeds Naturally Free Organic Layer 16% Chicken & Duck Feed

After trying a few other brands over the last couple of years, I still believe this feed keeps my hens the healthiest and laying lots of eggs with strong shells. In order to get the benefit of all the good things Scratch and Peck Feeds adds to this feed, I soak (ferment) my feed overnight in a glass jar (it's super easy). I just dump the fermented feed into an old pan in the morning and put it in the run. All of that 'dust' in the feed that people complain about is actually good for your chickens! Not to mention, wasting it by letting them eat around it or throwing it away makes it more expensive to feed them. Scratch and Peck Feeds is the best!

I am very much into living an organic lifestyle including my animals. I’ve been using this feed for years. Top quality, nutritionally balanced for chickens and ducks. I highly recommend this Company whatever your feed needs are.

I have been using this feed for years. I ran out once and bought something else produced locally, but my girls will not eat anything with pellets. It just lies on the ground for the rats, which is gross! I soak some of it and give them that semi-fermented feed in a plate, but have this dry in a hopper feeder. They love it and so does my peahen. I have some hens that are about 8 years old and still laying!!

This food is a favorite among our birds. We've tried some Layena pellets and other organic types and have come back to this brand. The quality is great. It's organic and soy free. The birds think it's gourmet and come running when the grain scoop is shaken. And the convenience of having it show up at my doorstep is incredibly helpful.

I have been purchasing this feed for about a year or so and the last couple of times the bag is mostly dust and full of sticks. I don't know if the feed is old or not stored properly, but the quality has gone down hill. My hens won't eat it now. For the price I expect better. I do feel that Scratch and Peck feeds is not what it advertises to be. I will now be changing my feed.

Our girls seem to be enjoying this feed. They get very excited about feed time and are laying great eggs and laying regularly.

This is real food and worth the price. We have tried lots of different foods, including Purina, and they absolutely devour this food. Note: the dust is vitamins and minerals, per my local feed store which keeps this popular brand in stock at all times. I supplement with fresh greens and other produce and my chickens are doing well.

At first I didn’t think our chickens liked eating this but then I realized that they actually are eating but only need to eat 1/2 as much as their previous feed that was mostly corn. We used to have problems with weak shells and that is no longer an issue. They seem to be a lot calmer too. Overall very pleased with this product & would definitely recommend!

I love this stuff. My chickens love this stuff. It's really the best feed. Nicely made. Fresh. No mess. Chickens lay tons of eggs when they enjoy this feed.

I have raised chickens for over 5 years and have had everything from shell-less eggs to chronic loose stool. After making the switch to Scratch and Peck, I have yet to have either. The shells are much harder and the yolks are almost orange. Much healthier chickens all the way around too..
