Our Poultry Proso Millet is a high-quality, natural grain feed ideal for all types of poultry, including chickens, quail, and game birds. Known for its easy digestibility and rich nutrient profile, Proso Millet supports strong growth, vibrant plumage, and overall bird vitality. This small, round seed is an excellent source of energy and is favored for its palatability, encouraging consistent feeding behavior in poultry of all ages.
Poultry absolutely love Proso Millet. Consider planting it directly in your poultry yard to provide a natural forage source, which can help reduce your feed expenses. Proso Millet is hardy and adaptable, thriving in most soil conditions. It matures quickly, typically within 60 to 70 days, and grows to heights of 3 to 4 feet, making it an excellent forage crop for raising healthy, protein-rich chickens. This grain can be seeded by drilling at a rate of approximately 12 pounds per acre, or about 1 pound per 3,500 square feet.

Proso Millet is a versatile grain that blends easily into mixed poultry rations or can be offered separately as a scratch grain to encourage natural foraging behavior. It is well-suited for free-range and confined birds alike, providing a reliable energy source without unnecessary additives. Its small size and smooth texture make it especially attractive to smaller birds like bantams and quail.
Widely trusted and used by poultry farmers, including ourselves for broiler production, Proso Millet is best planted after the risk of frost has passed to ensure healthy growth.
