About Our Feed
There’s something special about keeping chickens. Whether you raise rare breeds, tend backyard layers, or simply enjoy the rhythm of farm life, you know the joy that comes from caring for animals and living close to the land. It’s a rich life—built, not bought.
When I first began keeping rare and heritage poultry, I went looking for a feed that matched the care I put into my flock. I wanted something fresh, wholesome, and free of shortcuts—no GMOs, no powdered fillers, and no lifeless pellets. When I couldn’t find what I was looking for, I made it myself.
In 2012, the first batch of LAYIN’ LARGE was created. Since then, we’ve stayed true to that original goal: offering freshly milled, NON-GMO feed made with real ingredients and real purpose. We’ve expanded beyond that first blend, but every feed in our lineup is made with the same integrity—crafted to nourish, tested for performance, and trusted by flocks across the region.
Our feed isn’t handled by dozens of middlemen. I personally know the farmers who grow our grains. I know their land, their values, and their commitment to quality. And I bring that same care to every blend we mill.
LAYIN’ LARGE
Premium NON-GMO layer feed for show birds, heritage breeds, and high-production hens.
Packed with whole grains, roasted and cracked soybeans, and blended with warm molasses, this high-protein (18%) ration supports vibrant feathers and strong egg production. It's ideal for fermenting or sprouting, and perfect for birds who benefit from an extra nutritional boost. No fillers. No dust. Just real, honest nutrition your flock will thrive on.
EVERYDAY LAYER
Balanced NON-GMO layer feed for steady production hens and maintenance flocks.
Crafted with whole grains, soymeal, and molasses, this complete ration meets the needs of most production breeds without the added extras needed by heritage birds. It's an ideal daily feed for flocks in consistent lay—and a great foundation for those wanting simplicity without sacrificing quality.
Tip: Add a scoop of LAYIN’ LARGE as a weekly treat to give your birds an extra nutritional boost.
COOL CHICK
NON-GMO chick starter mash with 23% protein and natural digestive support.
Made with finely ground grains, organic herbs, sea kelp, and brewer’s yeast, COOL CHICK gives your chicks the best start possible. Add warm water to create a crumble or ferment for even better absorption and feed conversion. Whether you're raising your first chicks or your fiftieth, this blend supports strong, healthy development from day one.
WATERFOWL FEED
Freshly milled NON-GMO feed designed for ducks, geese, swans, and non-laying hens.
This 14% protein ration is made with soymeal, whole grains, and essential vitamins and minerals, offering balanced nutrition for waterfowl or older hens who no longer need high-protein support. The added grain makes it a perfect winter feed, especially when free-ranging isn’t an option. Simple, honest, and nourishing—just the way feed should be.
We’re proud of what we’ve built here—feed that supports your animals, your land, and your values. Whether you’re caring for chicks, layers, or waterfowl, we’ve got a blend to meet their needs and help your farm thrive.
Because great farming starts with great feed.
Happy chicken keeping,
