As complete and wholesome as our feeds are, there’s always good reason to provide your birds with the fun of scratch. Sustainable Scratch adds targeted nutrition and gives your birds healthy fun to go along with their feed. Foraging, pecking, scratching in the soil and competing with each other for the tastiest morsels provides variety and enjoyment. In good weather, scattered scratch grains encourages foraging and bug hunting; in bad weather scratch grains provide lively entertainment.
Built on the rich harvest we enjoy here in the Pacific Northwest.

crude protein, minimum: 12%
crude fat, minimum: 5.0%
crude Fiber, maximum: 7.5%
Willamette Valley and Pacific Northwest grown wheat, oats, millet, flax seed, triticale, pumpkin seeds, green, yellow and maple peas; may also include wild grains, sorghum, milo, wild rice and/or other locally produced grains as available, vegetable oil.
This is a treat to be fed in addition to a complete feed not to exceed 10% of the birds’ feed, as too much will dilute the balance of nutrients in the complete feed. Provide plenty of fresh, clean water. Provide grit for proper digestion of whole grains. Introduce new feeds gradually. Do not feed old, moldy or insect-infested feeds.
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.

“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
“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
