Questions about this feed
Short answers to what people ask. Always follow the feeding directions on the bag tag.
-
What can I feed emus?
Tucker Milling does not make an emu-specific feed. For growing and adult emus, feed Show Flock Developer, a 20% protein pellet. Emus need more fiber than a poultry feed supplies, so mix in alfalfa pellets at about 2 parts Developer to 1 part alfalfa pellets by weight (3 to 1 for young growing birds), and give them pasture or hay. For laying and breeding emus, feed Quail & Game Bird Layer/Breeder and offer oyster shell free choice. For emu chicks, feed Show Flock Starter, then move them to Developer and alfalfa pellets as they grow. Ask about your emus →
-
Does this feed provide enough niacin for ducks and geese?
Show Flock and NatureCrest complete feeds provide more than sufficient niacin for ducks and geese. Additional niacin is not needed when the appropriate complete feed is fed as directed. Read the waterfowl feeding guide →
-
Can every bird in a mixed flock eat the same feed?
The youngest birds, species, and laying status all matter. Use the mixed-flock options to account for chickens, waterfowl, and other birds sharing the feeder. Check your mixed flock →
-
When do chicks move from starter to grower to layer feed?
Follow the feeding stages on the specific bag. Start chicks on an appropriate starter, use a grower or developer for growing pullets, and move hens to an appropriate layer feed as they approach laying, according to the product directions. Meat birds, turkeys, and gamebirds need their own feeding programs. Find a feed for your birds →
-
Can young chicks eat layer feed?
Layer feed has calcium levels intended for egg production and is not an appropriate starter for young chicks. Keep chicks on feed suited to their age. If chicks share a feeder with adult layers, ask for a mixed-age feeding plan. Check your mixed-age flock →

3 more questions
-
What is the difference between grit and oyster shell?
Insoluble grit helps the gizzard grind foods such as whole grains. Oyster shell supplies calcium and serves a different purpose; the two are not interchangeable. Use age-appropriate grit when birds need it, and plan calcium supplementation around their laying status and complete feed. Ask about your flock →
-
Can scratch grains replace complete feed?
No. Scratch grains are not a complete diet. Keep an appropriate complete feed as the foundation of the feeding program and offer scratch as an occasional treat, rather than mixing it into the complete feed and changing the nutrient balance. Read University of Georgia guidance →
-
What should I feed during a moult?
Provide an appropriate complete feed, fresh water, and consistent care while birds replace feathers. Avoid diluting their ration with large amounts of scratch or treats. Review the flock’s laying status and shared-feeder needs when choosing the feed. Read the Backyard Flock Moulting Guide →
