Hi Sarah,
Please feel free to reach out again. We stand behind our products, if you are looking for a refund. Because of our certifications we do not usually take returns. As I did mention to you, my Bantams have no issues with the pellets.
Thank you, Scratch and Peck Feeds

Hens won’t eat it. I feel like the pellets are too large for birds? Won’t be ordering again.

I’m sure this is a great feed, but my chickens will not eat it. They were desperate and ate some of the smaller pellets, but left the bigger pellets. I was assured by customer service that bantams could eat it, but again, with my large birds eating the small pieces only, there wasn’t many left for the bantams. I broke some of the large pellets in half and thirds for the bantams. I called customer service two different times and although I’ve been a very loyal customer for many years buying the whole grain feed, they wouldn’t refund or allow me to return. Their only advice was to not give the chickens any other food or treats and eventually they would eat it. What a waste of $70. Not trying to speak ill, just wanted to let my experience be known.

YAY!!! Thank you for writing in. Producing a pellet was not an easy decision for us. It started with a poll to our customers a couple years ago, what do you love about us? What do you wish for? Our founder gave us the okay on researching and producing a pellet if met her/our standards. We are very pleased with it. Remember BIRDs are naturally suspicious- but they will adjust.

It took my ladies a few weeks to get used to the pellets, but they eventually did when they realized that it was all there was to eat. I am so happy with this product because I know they are getting a quality feed without the waste we had when they were eating the whole grain feed. I also know they are getting the full nutrition they need instead of only eating the parts they liked out of the whole grain feed and possible missing out on some important nutrients. Thank you!

I love this feed for a couple of reasons: When I used to purchase your whole grain feed, the girls would eat the grains, but ignore the supplements because they were powdered, which was not good :(. However, with these pellets, each beak-full is complete nutrition! Also, I love BSFL for their nutrition and their sustainability AND the fact that they are ‘clean’ (unlike some other insects, bacteria, etc don’t pass from parent to eggs, so diseases don’t get passed on to the birds – if they raised/fed live.) PLUS, my girls love this.
I added 25% of this to their current pellet feed and there was no problem at all. Transitioning correctly…so next week will be 50%, then 75%, then fully this!
Again, I am SOOOOO excited that you have added this product, as I am soooo happy to be back as a customer. I love your company, what you stand for, and what you do. I’m glad that you have a product that works for me/’the girls’ that is organic, non-gmo, and sustainable. Thank you for adding this to your chicken feed line 🙂

Hello Heather- Birds dislike change, and can be spoiled eaters. If you really want to use the pellet feed then yes, just switch over. They might not eat for a couple days, but they will not starve themselves. Egg production might drop while they go through the process. For my girls I filled an empty milk jug, hung it so it was beak high, and cut 2 nickel size holes on 2 sides. Once they started playing with it and the feed dropped, they started eating. They still prefer the fermented feed, but I switch between pellets, fermented and dry quite often now. I hope this helps. Reach out anytime! Customer Advocate

My chickens won’t eat it. I’m sure that the layer pellets plus grubs are top quality. But our chickens have always had Scratch and Peck whole grain feed and won’t touch these new pellets. I integrated the pellets in with the old feed for 3 weeks now and they still don’t eat it. Should I switch to pellet feed only and see if they start eating it?
