Chick Starter Bundle

FAQ

• How does Little Pecks starter grower feed compare to other feeds?

  Grubbly feeds are made to power our pets and the planet for years to come. Rather than using fillers like corn and traditional protein like soy or fishmeal, Little Pecks is made with sustainably grown black soldier fly grubs - a powerhouse protein that's better for them, and the planet. Our grubs are packed with nutrients and naturally harvested (no hormones, pesticides, or funky byproducts). Plus, chicks naturally forage for insects and plants, so Little Pecks is filled with farm-fresh grubs, vegetables and whole grains to nourish our little ones with foods they naturally love!

• How do Grubblies compare to other treats for chickens? 

  Grubblies help fuel our pets and the planet. Every peck of sustainably harvested grubs is loaded with nutrients for our fluffy ones. Grubblies are rich in protein for strong, healthy feathers, and contain over 50x more calcium than mealworms for stronger eggshells. Grubblies are also completely natural, which means they are not genetically modified, nor is anything added. Just shake the bag and watch them come running for a healthy snack they love.

• Do you put medication in your Little Pecks chick starter grower feed?

  No. We do not put medication in our Little Pecks chick starter grower feed. Medicated chick feeds contain amprolium, which can help a chick build immunity to coccidiosis. However, it also works as a Vitamin D/thiamine blocker and can cause thiamine deficiencies. Ducklings are more prone to and at risk for thiamine deficiencies, so always opt for a non-medicated feed for a mixed flock with ducklings, ducks, and waterfowl.

• Can chicks eat Grubblies?

  You can introduce chicks to grubs as soon as they are one day old! As soon as your chicks have found out where to get food and where to find water, you can introduce them to where they can find healthy treats, like grubs. Read more about how to introduce chicks to grubs on our blog post.
