Finally, a Flock Topper Your Hens Actually Finish.
“They munch it up as soon as I put their food out.” Five reasons backyard keepers who are tired of scraping red dust out of the feed pan are switching to a coarse herbal crumble with dried larvae mixed through.
They Munch It Up As Soon as the Feed Hits the Pan.
If you've tried an herbal mix before, you know the scene. You shake the red powder over the pellets, the hens peck the pellets, and an hour later the bottom of the pan is a crust of chili nobody touched. One keeper put it plainly: “I end up with the bottom of the food pan covered in uneaten chili.”
A topper does nothing sitting in the pan. So Featherfed starts with the part hens want: chopped dried black soldier fly larvae in every scoop. Hens dig through the crumble to find them, and the paprika, oregano and garlic go down with each bite.
The keepers who switch describe the same morning. Feed goes out, the girls crowd in, and the pan comes back clean. That's the whole point of a daily topper, and it's the reason this one exists.
Paprika, Oregano, Garlic, Pumpkin, Flax. Plus the Larvae They Dig For.
Turn the pouch over and you can read every ingredient out loud. Sweet paprika, oregano, garlic, pumpkin seed, flaxseed and dried black soldier fly larvae, held together with a little probiotic yeast and a food-grade binder.
It comes as a coarse crumble, not a powder. Each crumb is coated so it clings to pellets and scratch instead of sliding off. Open the bag and you smell paprika and garlic, not a feed-store chemical, and there's no dust cloud when you pour.
Because it's food, there's nothing to weigh, dilute or measure into the waterer, and your eggs stay on the table the whole time.
A Coated Crumble That Rides on the Pellets Instead of Sinking to the Pan.
“I just mix it with their feed and ta da!” That's how a reviewer described the easy version of this job, and it's the version Featherfed is built for.
Every pouch comes with a 3 g scoop. One scoop per hen, sprinkled on the morning feed. Eight hens, eight scoops. It works in a tray, a trough or a hanging feeder, and it stays on top of the pellets where a pecking hen finds it.
Rather mix ahead? One pouch blends into about 37 lb of feed, so you can stir it into the bag on Sunday and forget about it for the week.
One Scoop Per Hen, Every Morning. The Math Is Done Once.
Some keepers wait until something looks off. Others want a daily habit that's already handled, so the mornings stay simple: coffee, eggs, feed, a scoop per hen.
Pick your flock size once and the next box ships every month before the last one runs out. Small flock (up to 5 hens): 1 pouch a month. Medium (6 to 10 hens): 2. Large (11 to 15 hens): 3. The 30-second quiz below picks yours.
Your first box also carries a yolk color card and a 30-day flock log, so you can see what changes in your own coop instead of taking anyone's word for it.
