Chick Crumb Complete Young Poultry feed, 5 kg

Perfect for my chicks from day old, no issues at all, good value for money on amount, always arrives well packaged, no broken bags. Will continue to buy.

I had my first brood of ducklings and decided to buy this product as it said it was suitable for chicks and ducklings. The problem initially was that it didn't list Niacin, which is a vital vitamin for ducklings. I contacted the company who responded saying that it does contain 52mg/Kg of Niacin (which is the required amount for ducks) BUT that it was not required to list the Niacin content as the amount is below the Statutory requirements. I wrote again to Fancy Feeds to ask them to reconsider the position and remove any uncertainty by listing the Niacin content explicitly. They responded again and have amended their website (see image) and will amend new packaging labels to show 52mg / Kg. Great to see this company responding to customers in such a productive way, so I amended my review to 5/5 and would recommend their product to duck as well as poultry owners.

It's great for what it is if you need cost effective but not dirt cheap chick crumb. The chicks haven't eaten much yet but as they grow I'm sure they will. My only gripe is that I'm seeing random pieces of what seems like blue rock in the bag. Apart from that it's brilliant

For those of you who use these Chick Crumbs to raise quail chicks, add a few grams of dried ground worms to each meal served. You will find this formula both effective and cheaper.

Bought for quail chicks. Although they're three weeks old now, we're still finding it a little bit too coarse for them, so currently grinding it a little. Took a photo so you can get an idea of how fine the crumbs are and what they look like. They're more than suitable for many chicks, but quail chicks are pretty small! The chicks love this stuff, and hopefully it will suit them to adults, supplemented other foods.

Suitable for my hand-reared chicks hatched from incubator. Also delivery service was good - item was left in a waterproof bag.

All ok duck like it

This chick crumb is pretty standard in terms of ingredients and nutritional content for chicken chicks. It has good sized crumbles without too much dust and is nice and fresh. It is non medicated which is a personal choice if you want to feed without an anticoccidiostat. As someone who has lost chicks to coccidiosis in the past, I prefer medicated feed as buying the cocci medicine separately is costly. The only thing I would say is this is not really ideal for quail chicks. At 19% protein this is a bit low for quail or other game chicks. Specialised quail chick feed is usually 24 or 25% protein. I got this to feed to slightly older quail chicks, for when they are aged 4-7 weeks, as a stop over between the expensive 24% protein feed for the first few weeks of fast feather growth and then the adult layer feed.
