Nutrient absorption depends on proper digestion, and in chickens, that work begins in the gizzard. Grit plays a key role here, physically grinding feed so it can be broken down into usable nutrients.

But for grit to actually work, it has to be the right size for their age and diet. Too small, and it won’t effectively break down feed. Too large, and younger birds won't use it.

As your flock grows, their grit should too. Swipe to see the difference in grit sizes → it’s a small detail that plays a big role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall flock health.

Want to simplify it? Our Grow as You Go program automatically delivers the right size grit (and feed) at the exact stage your flock is in, so your birds always get what they need, right when they need it.

Meet the people behind Scratch & Peck Feeds. 🐔

Next up in our employee spotlight series is Claire!

Claire leads social and brand voice at Scratch & Peck, which means she's one of the people behind the posts, stories, and conversations you see from us every day.

In this employee spotlight, Claire shares how she first got into chickens, what started as a desire for fresh eggs, and how her flock became something much more meaningful. From spending time with her kids in the coop to feeling more connected to nature, caring for chickens has become one of her favorite parts of the day.

One of the things Claire loves most about her role is connecting with this community and creating content that feels valuable, interesting, and worth your time. So she has a question for you:

How did you get into chickens, and what do they mean to you?

We'd also love to hear what kinds of content you'd like to see more of from Scratch & Peck, and what posts have been most helpful along your chicken-keeping journey.

Drop your thoughts in the comments. Claire will be reading along. 👇

Many flock owners love fermenting their feed because it can help reduce waste, encourage clean-up at feeding time, and make nutrients more accessible to chickens. Plus, your hens will likely come running when it's on the menu.

Here's how to get started:

🐔 Mix 1 part feed with 2 parts water in a container with a loose-fitting lid. Leave extra room for expansion.

🐔 Stir once daily and allow the mixture to ferment for 48-72 hours. When it's ready, you'll notice a slightly bubbly texture and a pleasantly tangy smell.

🐔 Scoop out a daily ration and serve it in a trough-style feeder.

One of our favorite feeds to ferment is Scratch & Peck Organic Mash. The mash texture absorbs water beautifully, making it a popular choice among flock owners who ferment.

Do you ferment your feed, or have you been thinking about trying it? Share your experience or drop your questions below. We'd love to hear what's working for your flock! 👇

We’re kicking off a new series introducing the people behind Scratch and Peck Feeds and the flocks they care for at home. Real coops, real routines, and the everyday chicken keepers who use these products right alongside you.

First up: Farmer Dan. He shares his go-to Scratch and Peck feed, how he found his way here, and what’s kept him here. You’ll also get a look at what he feeds his own flock and the product that’s earned a permanent spot in his coop.

More team intros coming soon so you can meet the people behind the brand and the birds that keep us all learning right alongside you.

Biosecurity doesn't have to be complicated.
Small habits like quarantining new birds, keeping equipment clean, and paying attention to changes in your flock can go a long way toward supporting your flock's health.

We're kicking off our new Backyard Biosecurity series with a look at Marek's disease, a common viral disease that affects chickens and can spread through feather dander and dust.

In this carousel, we're covering:
🐔 What Marek's disease is
🐔 Signs to watch for
🐔 How it spreads
🐔 Ways to help reduce risk in your flock

The goal of this series is to help you feel more confident recognizing potential issues and making informed decisions for your birds.

Training a friendly flock starts way before they ever lay an egg. Pullets and cockerels learn how to interact with you through repetition, tone, and routine. If you want a calmer, more handleable flock, it comes down to consistent small steps like these:

1. Show up at the same time every day. Chickens learn patterns fast. Feeding and checking in at consistent times helps them recognize you as part of their routine, not something unpredictable.

2. Move slowly and let them approach you. Standing still in the coop or run gives them space to get curious on their own terms. Chasing or grabbing early on usually slows trust down.

3. Use feed as a bridge, not a lure. Start by scattering treats nearby, then gradually move to offering from your hand. In the video, SPF grubs are doing exactly that, turning you into something worth investigating.

4. Reward calm behavior. Only offer hand treats when they’re settled. Over time, they learn that calm = access, which shapes how they respond around you.

5. Handle gently in short moments. Quick, low-pressure lifts or touch points help normalize being handled without overwhelming them.

👉 Want to build a calmer, more confident flock? Grab some grubs through the link in our bio and start training trust one treat at a time.
