Grower: Perfect Pellets with Pumpkin (18% Protein)

from $23.75

Laying Hens and Meat Birds
From Day 20 - a Month Before Laying

We have a fondness for the awkward, in-betweenness of growing birds that probably relates to our own memories of teenage gawkiness. And just like human teens, growing birds are incredibly hungry and messy -- and wholesome ingredients and good nutrition pay off by supporting rapid and well-supported growth, healthy skin and feathers and all-around good health.

  • Our Perfect Pellets (say that three times fast to feel as goofy as a teenager) are cold-pressed and include the most nutritious, digestible ingredients.

  • 18% crude protein from perfectly balanced amino acid proteins like lysine and methionine found in the Northwest grown ingredients we love. And yes -- the extra 2% protein (compared to most others) makes a difference in growth and health.

  • No fillers, so there's less poop (and less work for you since, like teenagers, birds don't clean their own rooms!).

  • Our feed delivers in units of 8.75 lb. (net weight) boxes that are easy to manage with an easy-pour spout. They are PFAs-free and fully recyclable.

For layers or meat birds. Whether you grow a production bird like the Cornish Cross or a slower growing pasture-targeted breed, our Corn-Free, Soy-Free and GMO-Free Grower with Pumpkin will allow your meat birds to reach their full potential, producing top-quality meat with the home-raised taste that is our goal. If you are raising laying hens, this grower will help you raise healthy, high-producing, long-lived hens.

Be sure to read our ingredient list below. It’s all so good and nutritionally dense. We start with wheat, peas, oats, and pumpkin seeds – all sourced from the Pacific Northwest. Why pumpkin seeds? For the same reason humans like them: for healthy protein, antioxidants, amino acids and minerals. Then we add botanicals, minerals and vitamins.

  • This is a complete and balanced feed. 

    Begin the transition from starter to grower when the birds are large enough to manage the larger size of the grower feed.

    Introduce new feeds gradually. Birds don’t like change. ☺

    Oyster flakes should always be available for hens. Our feed includes calcium but it’s better for the birds to supplement free-choice. Read more about that here.

    Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. 

    Do not feed old, moldy or insect-infested feeds.

  • About Shelf Life: Common practice is to consume feed within six months of purchase. But that disregards how old the feed might be when you purchase it. Some mills make feed months in advance. The fact is, nutrition diminishes over time, to the point that by six months vitamins and benefits are half gone. The only way to be sure that your animals are getting what’s described in the nutritional analysis is by buying fresh-made feed. (Ours is the freshest available because we’re the mill and your order comes straight to us.)

    We also urge you to only buy what you’ll use in a few months, at maximum. Remember to factor in reduced consumption during the winter or if your flock size changes.

 

Customer Testimonials

Chicken Testimonial Blog

“I didn’t really expect a difference in the chicks I hatched from my breeder birds. These guys are awesome. They have little Buddha bellies and the densest fluffy down I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been raising birds a long time. They are so vigorous. They took off faster than any chicks I’ve ever raised and they have me spoiled for any other feed.” — Julie

“I love it! There is no dust at all and the animals are crazy over it.” — Dick

“Barre is our cuckoo bearded silkie hen. Barre was hatched while we were still in North Carolina. She is such nice quality, both temperament and coloring. She got her own custom-built travel cage, and moved across the country. A friend gave me some Union Point starter for chicks. I was stunned, really, at how much LESS Union Point feed they ate. Less in, less out, much less smell. I’m a convert now. Only Union Point for the birds.” – Jane

“My birds placed in Champion’s Row at the national show again. I wasn’t really surprised. They have been there consistently since I started feeding this feed. I’d be surprised if they didn’t. They are pretty nice birds so that helps too.” – Sher

“I look at my birds every day and am amazed at them. They are beautiful, in immaculate condition. Their feathers are incredible. That’s all I have done differently, and my old feed was pretty good.” – Tracey

“I tried another feed that was also soy and corn free, non-GMO, but a lot cheaper. My birds got diarrhea and what a mess I had in the coop. As soon as they got back on your feed they were fine. I won’t be doing that again!” — Edna
