Start those chicks and ducklings off right with excellent nutrition that lays the foundation for good health and productive lives. Our starter is sourced sustainably from the Northwest and like all our feeds, it is corn-free, soy-free and GMO-free.
Our 22% non-GMO starter is a game-changer if you're trying to get high-quality protein without soy. (Most other feeds are only 20%.)
Chicks and ducklings don’t need to stay on Union Point's starter (which is more expensive than the grower because it's so nutrient dense) as long as they do with most starters because it is so nutritious. They quickly, safely grow up and are soon ready for our Grower Pellets. In general, meat birds/growers are ready for Grower at just over three weeks and layers are ready for Grower at just over four weeks.
Cold-pressed starter for less dust and waste and better nutrition.
Dried Yucca and an efficient, effective protein balance keep your brooder fresh and dry.
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.

Note: Ducklings have a vital need for some extra things (especially the vitamin niacin) that chicks don’t, but there’s no harm in letting the chicks have extra, so this formula works great for both chicks and ducklings!
This is a complete and balanced ration. Feed from hatch until birds are physically big enough to eat grower pellets. Provide plenty of fresh, clean water. 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
