Any glaring problems with this chick feed?

I usually make my own chick feed, unfortunately this year I don't have the time. Aside from a few odd ingredients and a need for grit, does this chick feed look okay?

That's a lot of protien.

Yes, and yet no, I have large fowl dual purpose breeds, they do require more protein. I usually make a feed 30% protein for chicks. This is a turkey/gamebird ration as is recommended by Livestock Conservancy.

baby birds need a lot of protein - they have whole bodies to build. Even herbivorous wild bird species feed their young insects and other meat protein while they are growing strongly.

The feed looks great! I wouldn't hesitate to use that

It's not until you go over 30% that you have to worry about too much protein, 28% is just fine

Looks like a high quality product to me. Wish there was something similar where I live.

Sic, would you mind sharing the name of this feed?

I did a search of the ingredient list on Google Lens with humorous but not-useful results.

Is Ash at 9.6% considered high?

It's only available to members of the super secret squirrel club!

Modesto Milling, this is their Turkey and Game bird chick starter. They have other feeds. I'm paying a little more per bag buying through Azure Standard - one of their retailers- but saving a ton on shipping because I'm on an island in Alaska. Years ago I purchased Mazuri exotic game bird, had to buy a 10 bag pallet - have it shipped to Seattle, then have it barged - ended up paying well over $2 a pound for the feed. The cost of shipping in feed is just one of the reasons I make my own.

Received my order and very pleased with this feed, and the easy to read mill date.
