Peninsula Feed Store - Redwood City, California

We are regular customers at your feed store and are always impressed by the helpfulness of your staff. They are always willing to answer our questions and assist us in any way they can. We are also grateful for the convenience of having a feed store so close to home, and we appreciate the fact that you always carry the giant bags of feed and scratch to our car.

Thank you for your excellent service.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent selection of wild bird foods, labeled by species. No prices marked anywhere is a bit of a bummer.

They carry the most variety of organic chicken feed in the bay, been to a few different feed shops and none have the same variety, quality or price.

Taylor P.

Very friendly and helpful. He helped us to make plans and decisions to be fully prepared for our chicks.

We regularly come by to grab hay for our bunnies. Good prices and friendly people. And some fun birds in the backyard to peek at!
