What is difference between scratch and peck feeds vs regular chicken feed?

[lcwmt]

Do you know of one that makes an all-flock type pellet? I ended up buying Full-o-pep layer pellets this time around from a local store but it's still not my ideal feed.

Nutrena makes an All Flock pellet feed. My free ranging mixed flock does very well on it.
I would use this feed if I had birds in addition to chickens (e.g. turkeys, ducks, geese, etc)

Not today but maybe this week I will go to TSC and R and J feed store and look and see what they have. I will post pics and ask you guys what yall think of it while I am there! If any of you guys know anything else that could help me find feed that would be great! I am also talking about this subject on another thread that I started you guys should check out! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/is-it-to-early-to-give-my-ducks-layer-feed.1262674/

I looked at a dumor organic and will soon begin to look for an all flock...they don't have that a TSC tho.

They have flock raiser crumbles.

I haven't been able to find anyone near me that carries it or I'd try it.

I would rather go with layer if not I will go with raiser.

Have you looked at the ALL FLOCK TAB on here yet? I have recently made this spread sheet so all feeds should be up to date. Are you wanting a local feed or are you ok with mail ordering it?

Thank you. I made it for everyone here on BYC.

I need to finish all the tabs. And I have a few more brand names to add.

Is layer good for ducks? I've never had them but one of the reasons I never used layer is because I have mixed sexes and ages plus I used to have guineas and turkeys in the mix as well.
