All Flock Feed in Queensland Australia?

[BeanieBabies]

I live in Queensland Australia and, as far as I can tell from every one of my local feed stores and asking around, there are no allflock feeds and no unmedicated chick starters. Just layer mash, pullet pellets, or chick crumbles.

Does anyone know what 'allflock' or its equivalent is called here, or if it's even available at all?

All flock is the same thing as chick crumbles or possibly pullet pellets. Look at the calcium level of the feed. Chicks get the lowest level of calcium, maybe 1% or less if I recall correctly, while layers get around 4%. If pullet pellets have the same amount of Calcium as the chick crumbles, it can be considered an all-flock feed also.

I'm in the USA, but it's all about the actual amount of calcium in the feed. All-flock is a term commonly used here, but not every all-flock feed is labeled such.

I am in Qld and I had look for All Flock feed many times before, I don't think we have this, the closest is show bird/mixed flock - not including chicks.

Goodna produce store makes its own chick feed - no medication, but 47% content of soya beans. Alternatively you can get organic that has no medication, but very pricey.

Country Heritage brand

I give my chicks the Goodna produce store made chick feed and 1 bag of the country heritage brand to last them until they reach layer feed.

I buy Kewpie layer mash for my layers and it does not have medication. This one is quite powdery and I added water in so that my chickens do not chock on the powder. I find that they do not poops as much eating this, and they have real protein meals.

Most layer feed do not have medication, many have Linoleic Acid that make the egg bigger.

These are my experience.

Edit to correct spelling

If you do a Google search on Purina Flockraiser, and see the nutrients list, this is a typical All-flock feed that is used in the USA. See screenshot below. This will give you something to compare to if you're looking for all-flock type feeds in Australia.
