Baxter Barn Quality Feed

- A Portage Bay Grange Blend-

Baxter Barn Quality Feed is a complete feed that is designed to
fulfill the diverse requirements of many different kinds of small
urban or large rural poultry. The Feed has a pro-biotic and prebiotic
with a complete nutritional diet of organic vitamins and organic/
inorganic trace minerals.

Current feed on the market has the minimum requirements of nutrition. Organic and other classifications are at or below that because the availability of resources also. To achieve the full requirement for the heath of the bird we need to use all resources. Some breeds of poultry show deficiencies and need more than the minimum amount to improve their health. Plus we’re one of a few that use a fixed formulation so the amount of each ingredient doesn't change which is best for the animal.

Market feed price-points are affected mainly by protein and vitamin
costs and that is why there are deficiencies in feed. The average feed is
16% protein. From age 6 months to one year, they need 17% to grow
and lay at the ideal rate. That simple 1% difference helps your chickens
fight stress during changes in temperature, humidity, feed, or adding or
losing a bird. That 1% also helps maintain a healthier bird and
continues a return on eggs. After the third year egg production drops
but to continue egg production and the health of the chicken, 17% is
important.

In addition to the well balanced diet from Baxter Barn Quality
Feed,

It is recommended to use treats, scratch, or other food sources in
moderation.
If you choose to add scratch, PBG Custom Scratch is a finer diverse
scratch consisting of oyster shells for Calcium; flaxseed and
peas for protein; along with 7 other variations of grains that
gives a diverse diet added to the Baxter Barn Quality Feed.
A better alternative to PBG Custom Scratch is to add meal worms
to PBG Custom Scratch and use it as a treat
It is also recommended to add grit to help work with the chicken's
muscles to break the feed down to have maximum absorption.
To maintain a well-balanced diet it's recommended to not exceed
over 6% on any single supplement with the feed!
