We here at Sugar Feather Farm, have done the hard work and found the best fowl feed we can find. As a farm who deals with rare, and unique breeds of fowl who require more nutritional needs than the average fowl we noticed that none of the commercial feeds that were available were meeting the needs of the fowl and we were also concerned with additives, preservatives and GMO’s. We decided to go on a mission to find fresh and nutritionally balanced feed for our fowl here on the farm.  This is our Adult Summer Blend feed. This feed is all inclusive for what your feathered friends will need at this stage.

We get our feed custom milled and designed in PA at a Non-GMO project verified facility.  All of our feeds are formulated by the experienced animal nutritionists at The Fertrell Co. We have a unique vitamin and mineral premix with probiotics and digestive enzymes that is used in our custom feeds. In addition we have added a product called Prosper EO, which provides essential gut health for fowl. Grit is included in the feed but we recommend grit on the side, free choice.

Features:

No preservatives or antibiotics. Non-GMO. Pre- and pro-biotics. Freshly ground and fortified with extra vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to promote peak breeder performance, including egg quality, hatchability, and plumage condition. Essential oils to help naturally prevent coccidiosis and maintain gut health. Formulated specifically for the needs of breeding birds in hot and humid environments.

Use:

To feed to laying birds in hot and humid environments. Feed whenever daytimes highs reach mid to upper 80’s consistently. For birds experiencing more mild conditions, feed the Adult Breeder Layer.

Feeding instructions:

To feed to laying birds in hot and humid environments. Feed whenever daytimes highs reach mid to upper 80’s consistently. For birds experiencing more mild conditions, feed the Adult Breeder Layer. Feed 1 oz per pound of adult body weight. Use as complete feed. Ensure access to fresh clean water at all times. Provide extra free-choice calcium if needed.

It saves you money!

When birds are receiving all the nutrition they need, they tend to eat less. Yes really. Many customers report this to us. We also have tips and tricks to help with food waste. Simple steps you can take.

Why do full grown fowl need a special feed?

All our fowl we preserve and raise need higher levels of vitamins and amino acids for feather and body function. We need our fowl to be productive and strong otherwise their offspring will not be healthy. Many of the breeds we raise and preserve have weak immune systems and genetically are hard to breed.  We find getting their nutrition at peak performance, these specialty breeds increase fertility and overall health and vitality. Their feathers are lustrous and we have seen colors not seen before in their feathers. They need extra nutrition and minerals and vitamins at their optimum level, many of the feeds already produced are not fresh are lacking in viable nutrients and not enough for their needs.

Why do I need to feed an adult feed?

Adults require different levels of proteins vitamins and minerals at maturity. We consider maturity when a female lays her first egg and a male is over 7 months. As adults they need extra calcium in the feed and lots of grit. This would include all the fowl we have here on the farm; chickens, ducks, turkeys, guinea, geese and quail.

Why do we need a summer feed?

Fowl eat for their energy requirements. During the summer, the body does not need as much energy to maintain itself. In fact, the amount of feed eaten will decrease as temperatures increase because birds don’t need as much energy. However, layers still need 21 g of protein to lay an egg, so we needed to adjust the feed’s energy and protein levels to compensate for less feed being eaten. A summer layer feed will generally have lower energy and higher protein compared to a winter feed.

Fresh feed is key!

Our feed company does not add any preservatives, it is FRESH. They fresh batch everything to order to ensure you as a customer get the longest shelf life out of the product. The fresher the feed the better. Fertrell Co.(our nutritionists) sees the best results if feed is used within 2 weeks of manufacturing. However, we understand this isn’t always plausible, so try to feed within 30 days of manufacture to ensure feed is fresh and vitamin levels are high. We make sure all our feeds  are in tightly sealed containers to ensure freshness.

The feed is a mix of ground and cracked grains, they are not made into pellets for a reason. Many times there is additives and preservatives to create the pellets. We prefer it as a mix for this reason. We are finding our birds love the feed and are doing very well on it, with some amazing changes like better feather growth, feather coloring, overall larger bird and performance. Any mash left over you can make into a paste or wet for optimum consumption as birds love to pick through their feed of course!

Each of the feeds should have the feeding instructions, age range for birds, and nutritional information printed on the tag. Some more fragile breeds call for the grower feed to be used longer and this is recommended on the breed page.

Prosper EO – Our Secret Weapon!

Prosper EO is a powerful antioxidant we add to all our Sugar Feather Farm feeds. It is a broad range immunity booster that has prebiotic fibers and blends of microinfused oils that helps support digestive health, overall performance, growth, and development. It boosts the fowl’s immunity so it can fight common diseases, issues, and weather changes. Case studies shows the data and has helped with Salmonella, E-Coli, and Coccidiosis in a safe and natural way. We strongly believe in using Oregano Oil in both feed and in the water for optimum results.

We also recommend using our Oregano Oil in the water as well.
