Buy Chick Starter Feed for Chickens in Lafayette

Healthy chickens lay tasty eggs, and you get healthy chickens from high quality chicken feed. Finding the best feed with the proper nutritional balance is critical and the professionals at Buckles Feed Depot & Pet Supply in Lafayette are here to assist you.

Chickens will consume anything from grain to insects, and even animal products depending on how tiny the pieces are. Additionally, they need a diverse array of nutrients in order to not only lay eggs but lay eggs that are nutritionally dense. 

Chick starter and grower feeds are loaded with calories, especially from protein - to help your chicks grow, boosting their immune systems, and enhancing their general health and wellness. Grower feed is essential for healthy chickens.

Layer feed has a different dietary composition that includes more calcium to encourage proper egg creation in newly laying chickens.

Flock raiser provides a balanced nutrition when you have a mixed flock of chickens. It's much easier to use and still gives great nutrition.

Crumble and pellets are often the main presentation of flock raiser food, as it's very easy for chicks and chickens alike to consume and absorb.

Shell grit has two purposes - one, it helps the gizzard break down food effectively, and two, it includes extra calcium to your chicken's diet. Calcium is essential for proper nutrition regardless, but it's particularly vital for egg-laying hens.

Cracked corn isn't a great feed - it's calorie-dense but not big on nutrition. Regardless, it's a nice treat for your chickens, it's very inexpensive and in a pinch, it can be used to feed your chickens if you've got nothing else handy.
