3 Grain Poultry Scratch Feed, Organic

Naturally Free 3-Grain Scratch is a Verified Non-GMO and Certified Organic product. We use a blend of Pacific Northwest grown Organic Oats, Organic Wheat and Organic Barley from Certified Organic Farms throughout the region.  

This product is intended as a supplemental treat to a complete diet feed as it does not contain trace nutrients, probiotics and enzymes found in Scratch and Peck Layer formulas. Scratch should be offered in smaller amounts than their feed due to the high carbohydrate content which can result in fattening your birds.  

3-Grain Scratch is an excellent treat choice for summer as this mix contains slower digesting grains helping to prevent overheating during warm months. For colder winter months, try our Scratch n’ Corn which contains Organic Corn (verified Non-GMO) and more energy to help keep your birds warm!

Feeding Information: Naturally Free 3-Grain Scratch should be fed to chickens, ducks, and turkeys as a supplement to a complete diet such as Naturally Free Layer. Naturally Free Scratch and Soy Free Scratch n’ Corn are not formulated as complete diets because they do not provide the proper nutritional requirements.  

3-Grain Scratch may be used to train your flock to come when you call! Simply toss out a handful of scratch while calling and they will learn that your call results in fresh tasty grain for them to scratch and peck at! Toss in any areas you would like them to come – such as their coop at dusk – or in their nesting boxes to keep bedding loose and dry. This is an excellent way to promote forage scratching or you may choose to feed it free choice in a separate feeder.  

3-Grain Scratch is the choice treat for warmer months due to the slower digestion helping to regulate body temperature. It is also an excellent addition to your broilers’ feed to boost carbohydrate levels.  

Be sure to offer the appropriate sized grit and plenty of fresh water!   Scratch can be used to offset protein content in a maintenance diet but we caution against providing too much as reduced protein may result in a deficiency with a potential for feather plucking or reduction in egg laying.  

There is no protective lining on these bags only paper. The paper packaging is made with biodegradable ink so that the bags can be composted.
