DuMOR® Poultry Layer 16% Crumble

I been using Dumor for a couple years since TSC is my go to feed store. Everything else is a long drive. I use the layer pellets, and also have a feeder with 20% crumbles. I wet feed the pellets in the morning and by noon it is gone and then they usually work over my 7lb feeder which has the 20%. My girls are healthy and happy and been laying consistently.

I was using a different feed until i found Dumor, the chickens loved it and gobbled it up the first time i gave it to them since it was so much better for them than the other feed.

I think their crumble is is great usually but if you get the bag at the bottom of the stack the crumble has been polverized and is harder for them to consume but otherwise great!

My girls just love the crumble!

I had our girls on this from pullet age. Later I decided to try out RKO's country road crumbles. They wouldn't hardly touch it! Plus, even when they decided they had to eat it, egg production went way down! We're back on Dumor layer crumbles. I don't feed pellets because of the simple reason that chickens don't have teeth. So why give them something hard to eat. Not healthy that way. Plus some hens won't touch pellets and go hungry. If you're worried about waste, put the feeder in another tray so it falls in it. Then they peck it there too. Ours do!!

My duck has been eating this ever since she was old enough. DuMOR is the only brand she has ever eaten and I love the quality. She did get EYP a couple months ago (after a month straight of treatment, she blessedly pulled through) because the food did not have the right amount of calcium. She has been on a Calcium, B3, Phosphate supplement (prescribed by her vet) and everything is going great. I love this food and recommend it completely, but if your feeding a duck, don't forget to give them extra calcium

I prefer the Dumor Pellets over the Dumor crumbles because the chickens will tend to waste a lot of the crumbles.

This is my staple feed for the layer flock. It is affordable, has a good amount of protein, fat, calcium, and other nutrition. I use to feed Purina, and I was happy with that, but when I compared the brands, I decided to save a couple of bucks and put that money toward their treats. My birds are slick, shiny, bright eyed, and of proper weight. Always feed this with oyster shell for those concrete hard egg shells. I compare DuMOR to off brand cereals- they get the same job done cheaper. It does have a lot of corn and other ingredients some flock owners prefer to exclude- so just do your research and form your own decisions on ingredients. This feed is clean and the crumble shape is easier for birds to eat, but they eat a lot of it. It is also easier to make into feed 'blocks' at home. It makes a harder and tighter block. TSC sells bags for all flock sizes as well. If you're like me and need the 50lbs sack- it runs $12-17 depending on your area (2013). They also sell the smaller bags of it for those with only a couple hens. It CAN mold fast if improperly stored! It is not durable, be gentle with the sacks and keep them in a dry and cool place. I've never got a moldy bag but I know others who have. Very rarely I've heard of bugs being in the feed. Always double check bags before you purchase to be sure that they haven't been punctured. TSC has the habit of just taping the bag up without regard to contamination of the product or loss of product. This goes for both the plastic and paper sacks. Just triple check the bag!

I am very satisfied. My only suggestions on improvement would be for DuMOR itself to offer lines of this product in organic and non-GMO for the other consumers at a competitive price. For this product, I do wish that a little more fat was in it. Overall, very little to complain about.
