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, heritage and unique breeds of fowl who require more nutritional needs than the average. We were on a hunt to find a type of feed that would supply everything the birds need to thrive. We were noticing that none of the commercial feeds that were available were meeting the needs of the fowl; slow growth, dull feathers, low vigor, health issues. In addition, we were concerned with additives, preservatives and GMO’s. Solution: Design our own! This is our Chick and Waterfowl Grower feed. This feed is all inclusive for what your feathered friends will need at this stage.

We get our feed custom milled and designed at a Non-GMO project verified facility.  All of our feeds are formulated by the experienced animal nutritionists at The Fertrell Co, poultry scientists, and The Fowl Guru. 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 developing fowl. Grit is included in the grower feed but we still recommend grit on the side, free choice for the feathered out birds.

Features

No preservatives or antibiotics. Non-GMO. Pre- and pro-biotics. Freshly ground, milled, and fortified with extra vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to promote growth and performance. Essential oils to help naturally prevent coccidiosis and maintain gut health. Formulated specifically for growing chickens and waterfowl.

Use

Ducklings: Feed free-choice from Week 3 until point of lay or maturity. Use as complete feed. Ensure access to fresh clean water at all times.

Chicks: Feed free-choice from Week 6 until point of lay or maturity. Use as complete feed. Ensure access to fresh clean water at all times.

Feeding instructions:

Keep feed in airtight container. Free feed your birds at this age. Waterfowl need water always when eating. We recommend keeping feeders at the height of their backs, so adjusting them will be necessary. Birds tend to always go for the big pieces of feed or treats. This will help with waste. Make sure to have grit free choice for the birds and fresh clean water.

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 rare breed chickens or waterfowl need a special feed?

Many of the breeds we raise and preserve have weak immune systems and genetically are hard to breed. They can be rare for a reason, and we find getting their nutrition at peak performance to work with these specialty breeds helps increase fertility and overall health. Many of these breeds are weak and require special care. They need extra nutrition and minerals and vitamins at their optimum level, the feeds already produced and not fresh are lacking in viable nutrients and not enough for their needs.

Why do ducks and geese need special feed?

Ducklings and Goslings need 18 mg/lb of niacin. What is Niacin? Niacin is a crucial B vitamin and is essential for bone development, digestion, skin, and nervous system function for waterfowl. Generally with commercial feeds you will need to purchase additional supplements to make up the lack of these levels of nutrients. Our feed includes this level of niacin and more!

Why do I need to feed a grower feed?

Chickens and waterfowl require different levels of proteins vitamins and minerals at different stages of life. When they are growing is the most critical time of development, formation of their systems is critical for their adulthood. Don’t compromise on nutrition if anything you are compromising on.

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. 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 and critter prevention.

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 have found 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, dump on top for the next day 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.  After reaching maturity switch to our Adult Breeder-Layer 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.
