Manna ProChicken Feed – 16% Protein Layer Crumbles with Probiotics, Complete Chicken Food for Egg Production, 8 lb Bag

Smelled right, fresh not musty. The chickens communicated to me that they approved and found it tasty. At this price it rivals the feed store.....without a trip across town! Now that they have discovered, like the dog has, that food comes in delivered packages.....the delivery person has a lot of....friends. Between the dog and the rooster, I will never miss another delivery out in the yard!

My girls have been eating this food for years. They like it best from all the kinds I have tried (not the pellets-- crumbles only, they said). They each lay 1 egg per day. I always add calcium supplement (powder) to the food because I am anxious after having a couple egg-bound hens over the years.....I never lost a girl but I just know it was because I fed them too many treats and not enough calcium!! I vowed to never let it happen again so as a safeguard I just add powdered calcium to every bag of food as I dump the bags into the big bin. It would be great if there were bigger bags-- the little bags are easy to carry down to the girls and they also ship fast/arrive quickly but I think the price is really high (as compared to other organic layer crumbles) and the bags are very small by comparison (unfortunately).SO: When I am being organized, I mix this food that they prefer with an equally nutritious LARGE bag of organic layer crumbles (adding powdered calcium, of course). But if I am busy or disorganized, I end up spending too much $$ and just buying lots of bags of this food because (a) it arrives SUPER fast and (b) my girls love it.

The min my new laying hens started to lay I bought this. I mixed it in with their current feed. They ate it up and noticed after a week they frequency of laying was more. When it came time to buy more feed of layer I added the omega additive for this brand. Omg the quality of the eggs is so good. We have store bought eggs and fresh laid eggs. The difference in taste and looks of the yolk is rich! I will continue to buy mana pro feed for my hens!

Highly recommend for my rooster and chicken parents, my rooster loves this product.

Just as described!

My chickens think it's good.

I don't usually buy chicken feed online, however, I couldn't get to the TSC to get more and Amazon was convenient. My birds loved it so I bought more. It smelled "off" when I opened it but I thought maybe I was mistaken about this bag not smelling like the first. Then, four of my girls wouldn't eat and I couldn't get over that smell; almost putrid. I have a sick bird I've been trying to nurse back to health and this food made it worse. She's blind and underweight so she just grabs at whatever I put in front of her. I gave her this spoiled food for two days before I finally listened to my gut and tossed it. Some of the pellets were a strange pink color. It didn't look or smell like that the previous month. I really noticed how off it was when I wet it for my sick girl. I felt like a jerk feeding her rotten food for two days. It aggravated her crop issues and gave her diarrhea. I want to state that I did not contact Amazon about the rotten food, I just didn't have time with trying to care for a sick bird. It was easier to just buy new food from tractor supply. That is why I didn't take away more stars because I didn't give them an opportunity to rectify the situation. Just a word of caution: be aware of how your chicken food smells and what it is supposed to look like. Spoiled food can be deadly to your birds.

I have been feeding it and purchasing it from here for over 2 years now.I have a rescue bantam chicken that is extremely imprinted and dear to me. I have done a ton of research on feed and this always comes up as #1.Her annual bloodwork at the vet always comes back perfect.Nutrition is essential, literally number 1 as it pertains to the health and longevity of your chicken and these guys are always rated best in the market, I appreciate that.
