Mile Four

What's in the box: A recurring shipment of organic chicken feed for your flock's life stage, with optional grit, oyster shell, bedding or nesting pads.

Mile Four is a family-owned US company, operating since 2019, that sells USDA-certified organic, non-GMO chicken feed for repeat delivery. Feed comes in three life stages: starter for chicks, grower for pullets and layer for laying hens. Layer feed is offered as mash, pellet or whole grain. The company says its grain is freshly milled and grown on US family farms. You can also add grit, oyster shell, hemp coop bedding and nesting pads, or buy bundled kits sized for ten birds, such as a month of layer feed with grit and oyster shell. Don't expect a surprise box. It is a practical way to have heavy, essential supplies show up on schedule so you skip trips to the farm store. Subscribing takes a little off the price, but the site quotes both 5% and 15% savings in different places, so check the actual figure at checkout. Organic feed delivered to your door generally costs more than conventional bagged feed from a local store, which adds up with a larger flock. The main pages don't clearly explain shipping terms or how to pause or cancel, so read those details before you commit. If you keep a small flock, want organic feed and are tired of hauling bags, it is a sensible choice.
