Union Point Custom Feeds

🐣 It’s common for people to cheep out on chick starter – after all, it’s only needed for a short while! (As short as 25 days on our nutrition-dense Early Learner, compared to much longer when fed conventional feeds.)

But it's also common for chicks to miss out on the protein they need to grow strong bones, glossy feathers and set them up for a healthy, productive life on laying! 🥚

Our Early Learner Feed for chicks (ducklings, too!) 🦆 is non-GMO, no-soy, no-corn and its ingredients hit 22% percent protein with zero fillers. Give it a try! www.unionpoint.com/online

Already stocked up and it’s too late? Make the move to our high-protein Grower pellets with pumpkin!

Q: How long should chicks 🐥 be on starter feed?

A: If your chicks are on Union Point’s Early Learner Starter feed (with 22% protein!), they’re usually ready to move to our Grower 25-35 from hatch 🐣, depending on breed and overall care. And yes – we know conventional wisdom says 6 weeks on starter – but that’s for conventional feed! Not only does our feed boast higher protein – it deploys a more specific amino acid profile for sustainably faster, healthier growth!

For any feed, begin the transition when the birds are large enough to manage the larger size of the grower feed. Remember to make the transition slowly. Birds don’t like change!

We’ll discuss this more next week – be sure you’re following us! Learn more about all our feeds on our website: unionpoint.com.

“These chickens will not eat pellets. Never have. Never will.”

That was the gist of the warning we received when we recently took in a flock of 20 laying hens. Read our blog to learn what happened when we presented the hens with Union Point feed pellets. If you’ve ever thought your chickens wouldn’t eat pelleted feeds (which are, incidentally, generally less expensive), you’ll love this story: unionpoint.com/blog/pelletedfeedlovestory

With our emphasis on US ingredients and sustainable sourcing, we thought it was time to make the switch to feed bags that are made and printed closer to home. And bonus: These bags are proving to be quite a lot stronger than those from our previous supplier! Win-win in the bag! What's inside: unionpoint.com

Happy Solstice! We shared one of our favorite traditions a couple of days ago -- and here's another morsel from The Animals' Merry Christmas -- a scene from one of Alice's favorites, "The Goat Who Played Santa Claus". (We'll let him off the hook for bringing the turkey just plain old corn, and obviously you should never let your pigs smoke a pipe. 🐷 ) We hope you're settled into a sweet weekend with a tradition of your own, looking forward to more daylight for those barn chores! ✨

This sweetest of books, The Animals' Merry Christmas🎄, evokes such fond holiday memories. Three Royle generations have been raised on this book as a holiday staple... no wonder we ended up making animal feed! If you aren't familiar with this classic animal-filled delight, pick up a copy. We each have a favorite story and as kids, spent hours studying the sweet Richard Scarry animals. We hope you experience the sweetness of the season and recall a childhood joy of your own this holiday! With warmth and gratitude from all of us at Union Point. ✨❄ 🐐
