Peninsula Feed Store

"I love this I get my feed their if I need it delivered they deliver the staff is super helpful and friendly I couldn't be happier I'm so grateful they're still with us!"

"The people who work here are so friendly and helpful. Prices are great. Plus you get to see and play with adorable chickens & turkeys! It's always fun!"

"Great place to buy feed and baby chickens. They had over 350 chicks for sale they even let me see their incubator- eggs hatching and one little new chick cheeping about. I went there to buy a straw bale- $24 for a big bale that barely fit into my Honda accord trunk."

"Couldn’t have had a better experience. Eduardo was extremely helpful. I purchased 4 little chicks for the first time. I left feeling confident and very pleased with my experience."

"We discovered Peninsula Feed Store when we were looking for young chickens to lay eggs (pullets). Everyone there was so helpful! They had a few dozen Cinnamon Queens available at a time when it seemed nobody in the entire SF Bay Area had any chickens available. Ken let us know they had a shipment of coops coming in, so we pre-paid for the coop and five pullets, and he provided the coop dimensions so we could go home and pour a concrete pad. He advised us about feed and how much coop space to allow for each chicken. He even gave us a tour of their massive coop that had the pullets along with separate spaces for other breeds such as Copper Marans, Naked Necks, Ameraucanas and others. The store also has a nice variety of chicks and ducklings, and everything you need to get set up and maintain your flock. When we went to pick up our pullets, Eduardo helped us put them in boxes, and provided even more valuable advice about how to set up the nesting boxes with straw and scatter the floor with shavings, which we are going to compost. I highly recommend Peninsula Feed Store and its friendly staff, and will be coming back for future purchases. In case you are curious about how we set up our coop, here are the steps: 1) Clear and level an area in the yard, compact the dirt, use 2x4s to make a frame, mix concrete and dump into the frame. We used 18 bags, 60 lbs each, to fill this 78 x 45 space, which gave us a ‘lip’ around the 75” x 41” coop. The concrete pad provides protection against predators and an easy to clean surface. 2) Pick up the coop and the pullets, leaving the pullets in the box until coop is completed; or set up the coop and go back for the pullets when all is ready 3) Build the coop, which was a bit like assembling Ikea furniture, with scant directions but basic illustrations. If you pay close attention to which parts are clearly exterior and keep the screws organized it should be fine. It should take about 2-3 hours to build. 4) Set up food and water, then bring the boxes close to the coop entrance, gently lifting each bird with your fingers supporting their chest and thumbs across their wings while talking soothingly to them. Let the chickens settle into the coop for a week before having them venture into the yard."
