"My chickens have had both the Starter and Grower feeds from Mile Four, and they love them. Will definitely get the Layer feed when they are older. Great feed."

β€” Ramrod

"Too much of this food was not consumed by my Buff Orpingtons and some of the food was in pretty big pieces. Too much wasted for me to ever buy it again. Someone needs to put the feed through the grinder and the leaves must already be ground."

Bottom Line

Customers appreciated the organic ingredients but often found it hard to justify the price for mixed quality.
