Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in Sunflower Mix Up?

Ans: This treat is made with corn, wheat, milo, barley, oats, millet, and sunflower seed, preserved with propionic acid. The blend also features non-GMO purple corn for added variety and nutritional value in every single scoop you offer your flock daily.

Q2: How much protein is in this treat?

Ans: This treat provides a minimum of 9.00% crude protein and 2.50% crude fat, along with 0.20% lysine and 0.15% methionine. Since this product isn't fortified, it's meant to complement a complete feed.

Q3: Can I feed this to chicks?

Ans: Because of its larger particle size, this treat generally isn't recommended for birds younger than 8 weeks old. For younger chicks, stick with a chick starter feed and chick grit to support proper growth and digestion during this early stage.

Q4: How much of my flock's diet should this treat make up?

Ans: Since this product isn't fortified, it generally shouldn't make up more than 10% of your flock's total diet. Provide a complete feed formulated for your bird's species and age as the main source of daily nutrition and overall flock health.

Q5: Do I need to provide grit with this treat?

Ans: Yes, when feeding this mix or other coarse grains, offer Manna Pro Poultry Grit with ProBiotics alongside it. Grit helps birds break down and properly digest the larger grain particles found in this blend more effectively and comfortably they eat.

Q6: Should I give this to my laying hens?

Ans: Yes, this treat works well for laying hens, but it's a good idea to also offer Manna Pro Oyster Shell alongside it. Oyster shell provides extra calcium to help support strong eggshells and consistent egg production for your flock.

Q7: Which birds can eat this treat?

Ans: This blend is suitable for chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowl, making it a versatile option for mixed backyard flocks. If you keep other types of birds, it's best to check with an avian veterinarian before offering new treats.

Q8: How should I store this product?

Ans: Store the bag in a cool, dry area away from insects and rodents, and reseal it tightly after each use. Since this feed is perishable, check for spoilage before every use and discard anything that looks or smells off before feeding.
