I previously purchased other chick starter feed and sadly loss chicks from vitamin deficiency and others were not in great shape I switched to this feed and they all bounced back! What I like: ✅ Feed Quality: truly has everything a baby chick needs to survive and be healthy. I especially love that it is organic, non GMO, and is corn/ soy free! Chicks love it! ✅ Packaging: It arrived well-packaged, no damage and the bag is resealable. The only thing I would change but is easily added separately would be bugs. Chicks/ chickens do consume a large amount of insects and chicks specifically need high protein. I wish there was ground cricket or something added. I know a lot of people say it’s a “treat” but outside they will eat all the bugs they find. Use case: I feed dry but hear it is a really good product to ferment, and so far, no issues with performance or quality. I will use this product for future chicks. I’ll update this review if anything changes over time, but for now – I definitely recommend it if you need a reliable chick starter. Review: Better than Manna Pro on every account - This stuff is great. Granted I'm only a couple days into it, but so far so good. I had intended on getting the chick starter locally. Then ran down the clock trying to find organic chick starter in LA... Because I have Prime I ordered Manna Pro Organic Chick Starter which is roughly $20 for 5 pounds and guaranteed to arrive within two days. It seem like a pricey but safe bet to be sure I'd have it when the little ones arrived. I'm new to this, I didn't know what to compare it to, seemed fine enough. The first ingredients were corn and soy, which I wasn't wild about, both for health and for environmental reasons. But the chicks ate it, they look healthy, good enough. Come time to order more food and I try the starter from Scratch and Peck. It arrived in four days. Which was awesome and unexpected. These little ladies get a pretty diverse snack diet and plenty of time outside in the hot California sun. I wouldn't say they are picky, but I would say they aren't suckers, they've tasted all sorts of stuff and they've shown their individual preferences even now at just under 4 weeks. They all went nuts on it. Bonanza style. Chicken party. Because they were so into it, I got curious and compared. Visually the Manna Pro looks like tiny torn up pieces of flimsy cardboard, left to bleach in the sun for a week. Scratch and Peck looks more like a packet of soup spices mixed with ground up Muesli. There looked to be a few pieces still too big for them, but when poking around their bedding later I didn't see any left; perhaps they became accustom. The Manna Pro didn't smell like much of anything, while this stuff smelled like foodstuffs – dry grass and a TINY hint of cooked fish. Then I looked for packing dates. When the Manna Pro shipped it was already nearly 3 months old. When the Scratch and Peck shipped it was a few days old. Even if the chicks liked it the same, if it cost just as much; that alone would cause me to only buy this ever again. Wait two extra days for it to arrive and get food that's three months fresher, seems like a fair deal. Okay, now packaging. Manna Pro, plastic ziplock back. Convenient but wasteful. Scratch and Peck, sturdy paper packaging filled to the brim, densely pressed, with ingredient list and product name sewed along one of the seams. If that kind of thing matters to you as well, you'll feel better about getting this. I put the feed into large mason jars for storage. Finally, cost. Manna Pro cardboard crumble = $4 per pound. Scratch and Peck tasty looking chick Muesli $1.60 per pound ## Features - Healthy and Natural Growth – Our nutritionally complete whole grain starter mash with 20.5% protein promotes strong development and growth in chicks and ducklings.
