Buying Guide

Match feed to bird type

Choose layer-specific nutrition for egg production or higher-protein options like black soldier fly larvae for growing birds and meat breeds

Check protein and ingredient sources

Look for feeds that list crude protein percentage and highlight ingredients such as whole corn or dried insect larvae for targeted nutritional goals

Consider bag weight and feeder capacity

Select bag sizes and feeders that suit flock size—25 lb bags and 30 lb-capacity feeders reduce refill frequency for small to medium flocks

Assess storage and weatherproofing

Choose dry, clean grains or sealed feeders with metal construction to resist moisture and pests when kept outdoors

Evaluate non-GMO and clean-grain preferences

If avoiding GMOs or preferring minimally processed feed, prioritize products labeled non-GMO or described as clean, shelled corn
