Union Point Custom Feeds

It's time for some silliness. We were going to post video of a chicken crossing the road for Union Point feed, but we bumped into this and felt creatively inferior. So, it's up to you to imagine the feed part. Or just watch and laugh. (And congratulate the video's creator.)

I do this as a hobby in my free time after a long and stressful day at work, which, by the way, has nothing to do with art or animations. It takes 5-7 days t...

We posted the egg version of this last week. Here's the apple version. Same thing: nature is science. Eat it. Thanks Farm Babe!

Everything is made of chemicals. Everything. These are the naturally occurring chemicals in an apple. An apple is good for you!

Sometimes Nutritionist Alice is busy and wants the rest of us to come up with a non-scientific post without bugging her. So here's a photo of Alice as a girl. We're all grateful to this horse for leading little Alice to her lifelong obsession with horses, which in turn led to founding Union Point Custom Feeds in 2001!

We shared this image back in 2018, and the message is as important now than ever: Scientific terms can be confused as unnatural, and that’s not necessarily the case.

For example: This graphic below uses the scientific terms to break down what's in an egg. This looks pretty unnatural, right? Long names and what-not? It’s not. It’s just the scientific representation of an all-natural egg. (Exact proportions (especially fatty acids) vary based on what your chicken eats.) To be clear: there is no formaldehyde in your eggs, but there are natural chemicals that make up a formaldehyde-like material. There are no artificial colors in your eggs, but when broken down into their chemical components, the color is assigned by these scientific names. Pretty cool, right? We love clean, natural feeds. We love eggs. We love science for all its honesty.

It is always great to hear when our feed is really working for our customers. It is even better when we hear about it as they tell other folks! Thanks to Renee Ranch LLC for making the team's weekend!

Are your birds ready for grower? We're often asked when to move chicks and ducklings to a grower. Birds that are fed Union Point Starter formulas from the beginning are typically stronger, faster, and that means they're ready for our grower a bit earlier.

Generally, we suggest your birds stay on starter from hatch-21 days if they're meat birds, and from hatch-28 days for most layers and heritage breeds. If they're starting to look like teenagers, eating more and able to handle the bigger crumbles that we use for our grower, get them moved over to our Perfect Pellets with Pumpkin (18% protein)! Get details about our grower here: www.unionpoint.com/online/p/grower

For healthy, fast growth of laying hens and meat birds. 18% protein is 2% more than the usual. Cold-pressed pellets for maximum nutrition, minimum waste on the way to more eggs or meat. And less p**p! GMO-free, corn free, soy free. US ingredients. Ships in PFAs free box.
