Pricey but easy
This is an easy (if not pricier) way to get some gorgeous color and richness into your egg yolks. I did notice a difference in yolk color after a week or so of adding this to their feed. My girls readily ate it up (I mixed it with their layer pellets). I have often played with their enrichment supplements to bring out color and while there are cheaper ways (veggies high in vitamin A can also bring out nice coloring), this was the fastest and easiest (I don't always have the time to chop veggies for them to eat, or the space in my fridge to keep the extra veggies).

Kind of on the expensive end at $7.50-$8 per pound and no difference in eggs so far.
I don't have too much to report on this one honestly. It's kind of pricey and it weighs just under 2 lbs. It's currently $14.99 or $7.50 per pound. Since it's a little under 2 lbs, it's closer to $8 per pound and it just seems expensive to me for what I got.The girls pick at it, but it doesn't seem to really draw them in to it as a must have. My bag had a lot of green color to it, kind of like Timothy hay pellets can have and a scent that reminds me of fresh cut lawn or grain. Maybe fresh cut hay.The ingredients seem alright, but nothing in the ingredients really stood out to me as an egg or yolk booster. I haven't noticed any difference in the yolk color on my RIR's or Silkies. Nothing particularly different. The ingredients seem to be good quality insofar as this company avoids GMO's. The corn-free doesn't really interest me as I often let my girls have corn based treats.I don't know on this one. It seems gimmicky. I can get non-gmo feed, which is actually different from organic, at the feed store in a 50 lb bag for around $15-$20. This brand seems expensive for what it is and I just don't think the ingredient list is too far different from other brands at TSC or even RK. I'd rather spend for something else next time.

Smells Fresh - chickens LOVE it!
The media could not be loaded. This has a very strong grassy smell. That is excellent for a feed product.The inside package arrived open - not sealed. When I buy a boxed product at the grocery store, I do not want to find the inner sealed packaging open - but this one was.As a buyer I would want to know that the package is not sealed correctly on the inside because this is a food product. The lower zip lock seal works to reseal the food for small distribution and to ensure freshness from day to day.The chicken food itself appears to be excellent quality.Updates will follow when the golden eggs arrive.Update: Chickens are enjoying the food. We chose to mix it with their regular feed because of how rich the vitamin content was. The eggs are getting darker, so we are impressed.

Smells state and my chicken ran away from it
My pet chicken hates it. It also smelled stale. I trust her judgment. I would not buy this particular product again. I do, however, like Select seeds..just no this stuff....

Really does make yolks more yellow
This is the first supplement we’ve ever used with our chickens to get them to lay eggs with more yellow yolks. We have a small flock and each chicken lays a different color egg so I can confirm which chicken lays which egg.As instructed on the package, I only supplemented approximately 5-10% of their feed with this. We started this supplement a week ago and I noticed after approximately 5 days, some of the chickens egg outer egg colors started becoming more pigmented in color. Curious I got one of the eggs from last week and compare it with today’s eggs. In the picture are two eggs from the same hen. It is hard to tell but the eggshell on the right is slight more pigmented than the one on the left. The second picture shows the raw eggs and sure enough the yolk on the right is more yellow. The third picture is of the eggs cooked again with the right egg being the more yellow (the left egg got flipped upside down so the yolk looks a little wonky). There was definitely more yolk flavor for the egg on the right as well.Overall I’m happy to report that this supplement does indeed help make more yellow and tastier yolks.

A Trusted Brand
We use a lot of Small Pet Select products and we have always been very happy with the quality and packaging. It is a little hard to review the effectiveness of this product as we have been using a similar suplement and our chickens are in their fall molt, winter slowdown in egg laying. The few eggs that we are getting look normal for the flock nad they appear to be eating this either tossed in scratch of mixed into the feeder. So far there are have been no ill effects and no change in the orange of the egg yolks. Feel good giving them the supplement though.

The term "chicken feed" used to mean cheap :)
This is very high quality chicken feed for supplementing the birds' base diets.I can't honestly say that the resulting eggs came out bigger, yellower or tastier :).I can, however, say that the birds loved this stuff.

Bought TWO Bags one was STALE AND SMELLED STALE...
The other was just like cardboard. Chickens never touched either. We left it out by mistake and rats wouldn't even eat it. Possums too.... Ants too. lol this isn't edible!
