Little Pecks Starter Grower

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!

• Can it be fed to ducklings? 

  Yes. Little Pecks is made with farm-fresh ingredients that ducklings naturally LOVE. With a healthy mix of insects, vegetables, whole grains, vitamins, and minerals, you can keep your little ones happily nourished. Little Pecks is formulated with 38.77 milligrams of niacin (vitamin B3) per pound. If your ducklings need extra niacin, brewer's yeast is a great supplement to their diet. 

• What percentage protein is it? Can it be fed to turkeys?

  19% protein. You can feed Little Pecks to laying chickens, ducks, turkeys, chickens and other fowl. Just be sure your flock is receiving enough calcium by providing an additional source of calcium near their feeder.

• 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.
