Ive tried lots of layer feed. They didnt like any of it. They are stubborn little divas & would waste most of it kicking it out of the bin and screaching their displeasure. They like this & actually eat most of it. My ears, neighbors and hens thank you.
Grubbly Farms7/29/25Thanks so much for sharing! We love that even your stubborn little divas are enjoying Fresh Pecks and that your ears and neighbors are getting a break too. It’s wonderful to hear your hens are happily eating and loving it. 💚
- TMTrevor M.Verified BuyerReviewingFresh Pecks LayerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars7/22/25My hens love it!
I have 4 hens: Goldie, Snowy, Peggy, and Yubaba. They absolutely love the Grubbly Fresh Pecks Layer feed. The cheap stuff from the local feed store was being ignored for the free range yard food and they weren’t getting enough nutrients. Once I switched to Grubbly the hens were always returning to their feed bin to get some taste of Grubbly along with their free range diet. Thanks, Grubbly Farms!
Grubbly Farms7/23/25We’re so happy to hear Goldie, Snowy, Peggy, and Yubaba are loving their Fresh Pecks feed! It’s wonderful that they’re choosing Grubbly to keep their nutrition balanced alongside free ranging. Thanks for trusting us to support your flock’s health! 💚
- DRDayna R.Verified BuyerReviewingFresh Pecks LayerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars7/16/25Worth it!
Worth it even though it’s expensive. I supplement every few months to keep down the cost but my girls lay every day.
Grubbly Farms7/16/25We’re so glad to hear your girls are laying strong! Thanks for the kind words and for choosing to treat them to Fresh Pecks. It means a lot to be part of their routine, and we're always here when they’re ready for their next boost! 💚
- NCNatalie C.Verified BuyerReviewingFresh Pecks LayerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars7/13/25Fermented Fresh Pecks!
My hens LOVE Fresh Pecks. Twice a week I soak this feed in water for 3-4 days so my birds have a special delight. They love it dry too, but the benefits of fermentation is worth the little extra work.
Here's fermenting does:
Improves digestion
Enhances nutrient absorption
Lowers risk of digestive problems
Better egg quality
Cost-efficiency: Chickens need less fermented feed to get the same nutrients, which means you save money in the long run.
Give it a try! Your birds will love it and you'll enjoy watching them enjoy it!
Grubbly Farms7/13/25What a wonderful way to use Fresh Pecks! Soaking and fermenting really takes their nutrition to the next level, and it’s great to hear your hens are loving it both ways. Thanks for sharing these awesome benefits and your care tips. Your flock is so clucky to have you! 💚
- CHCristina H.Verified BuyerReviewingFresh Pecks LayerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars7/9/25Zero waste
I’m not sure what is so different about this feed. My chickens won’t look twice at most crumbles. So I find them blends. But they just pick out what they like and waste the rest.
I keep trying different brands of crumbles and keep going back to grain mixes. But then can’t deal with the waste again. It’s been a n expensive loop.
Ok so this stuff is pricy for sure. Most expensive I’ve bought except maybe one. But then I saw how much they clearly liked this one, and saw how there is zero waste, and I became a monthly subscriber.
And the chickens look great…I’m on my 6th bag. Money well spent. .. it ends up costing the same as cheap food when you factor in the wasted food.
Grubbly Farms7/9/25Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We know how frustrating it can be to deal with picky eaters and wasted feed, so it’s amazing to hear that Fresh Pecks has been a hit with your flock! Knowing they’re loving every peck and that you’re seeing real value makes us so happy. We’re honored to be part of your monthly routine and truly appreciate your support! 💚

Fresh Pecks is offered in two forms so you can pick your flock’s favorite texture of layer feed. As visual eaters, our feathered friends tend to stick with foods they know and love. If your flock enjoys the consistent texture of crumbles, stick with Fresh Pecks Crumbles - perfect for picky eaters. If your gals prefer a variety of textures, they'll enjoy our Textured Mix which include loose grains and seeds. Introduce your flock’s new feed gradually to help ease the transition.

Grubbly feeds are made to power our pets and the planet for years to come.

Our grubs are packed with nutrients and naturally harvested (no hormones, pesticides, or funky byproducts). Plus, chickens naturally forage for insects and plants, so Fresh Pecks is filled with farm-fresh grubs, vegetables and whole grains to nourish our feathered friends with foods they naturally love!

We recommend Fresh Pecks All Flock for mixed flocks! This will provide a more well rounded diet for the other feathered friends in your flock, such as roosters or ducks. Always provide free-choice calcium in a separate feeder for laying hens.
-
Yes! While not all chicken feeds can be given to ducks, Fresh Pecks is made with farm-fresh ingredients that ducks naturally love! With a healthy mix of insects, vegetables, whole grains, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, you can keep your ducks happily nourished. The feed is formulated with 37 milligrams of niacin (vitamin B3) per pound. If your ducks need extra niacin, brewer's yeast is a great supplement to their diet. Pellets, as opposed to crumbles, are typically recommended for ducks.
-
Just like different dog breeds, different chickens have different nutritional needs and varying appetites. This means not all chickens need the same amount of feed per day. A small hen will likely eat less than a larger one. However, you can anticipate the average, active chicken that is of laying age to eat about ¼ of a pound of feed daily. A bantam breed will likely eat about ⅛ of a pound per day, and a large breed chicken will eat between ¼ and ½ of a pound daily.
-
When it comes to a flock with younger and old feathered friends, you will want to choose your feed based on the youngest members of your flock. This likely means feeding Little Pecks to your whole flock as your little ones grow big and strong since feeding chicks under 20 weeks of age too much calcium can be detrimental to their health. However, you will want to supplement your older layer hens with free-choice oyster shell for supplemental calcium.
-
Fresh Pecks is formulated for the best health of your lovely layers, including its calcium levels. However, laying hens all have varying needs for calcium to stay healthy and chickens’ calcium needs fluctuate throughout the year. It’s always best to provide supplemental, free-choice calcium for your flock, no matter the feed. Chickens will naturally crave more calcium as they need it, and self-regulate their calcium intake.

Absolutely. There are many benefits to fermenting Fresh Pecks, including increasing the feed’s protein levels, probiotics, and more. Learn how to ferment your Fresh Pecks.

Yes, we still offer that same feed form! It's now referred to as Textured Mix. Nothing changed about the form or the formulation, we just updated the name to better reflect the contents.
