About This

• ALWAYS SOY-FREE — FROM DAY ONE: NCO was one of the first organic feed mills to go completely soy-free, and we've never looked back. This starter feed contains no soy, so your chicks get clean nutrition from the very first bite — no fillers, no shortcuts.
• 21% PROTEIN FROM REAL SOURCES: At 21% protein, this feed is formulated to meet the high demands of early chick development. Protein comes from fish meal — a natural source of methionine that supports muscle and skeletal development better than synthetic alternatives. Your chicks will grow strong because of what's in this bag, not in spite of what isn't.
• FINELY GROUND FOR DAY-OLD CHICKS: The grind is sized right for newly hatched chicks to eat immediately, while retaining enough texture to stimulate proper gizzard development from the start — setting up lifelong digestive health.
• PROBIOTICS FOR GUT HEALTH: Every bag includes live probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. plantarum, and more) to support a healthy gut microbiome from hatch. A healthy gut means better nutrient absorption and stronger immunity throughout your flock's life.
• MILLED IN OUR OWN FACILITIES: NCO owns and operates its own mills in Virginia and Texas. We know exactly what goes into every batch — no co-packers, no mystery ingredients, no cross-contamination surprises. Same formula, every bag.
