Starter: Speed Feed for Healthy Chicks & Ducklings (22% Protein)
CHICKS AND DUCKS
From Hatch - 21 Days for Meat Birds
From Hatch - 28 Days for Most Layers and Heritage Breeds
Start those chicks and ducklings off right with excellent nutrition that lays the foundation for good health and long 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 Perfect Pellets. In general, meat birds/growers are ready for Perfect Pellets at three weeks and layers are ready for Perfect Pellets at 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. Orders of 40 lbs. or increments of 40 lbs. ship in PFAs-free, fully recyclable bags.

This is a complete and balanced ration.
Feed from hatch until birds are physically big enough to eat grower pellets and transition to Perfect Pellets gradually. (In general, meat birds/growers are ready for Perfect Pellets at three weeks and layers are ready for Perfect Pellets at four weeks.)
Provide plenty of fresh, clean water. 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.
