I am currently looking for a starter chick feed for my buttons that may be healthier alternative to the crumbles I am currently using. Does anyone here happen to use Harrison's brand of bird foods for their quail? Looking at their products, here is a list of the ingredients for their starter mash....
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Ingredients: *Ground Shelled Sunflower Seeds, * Ground Hull-Less Barley, *Hulled Grey Millet, * Ground Soy Flakes, *Ground Lentils, *Ground Green Peas, *Ground Shelled Peanuts, *Ground Rice, *Ground Yellow Corn, *Ground Toasted Oat Groats, *Sesame Meal, *Chia Seeds, *Ground Alfalfa, Monocalcium Phosphate, * Algae Meal, Calcium Carbonate, Montmorillonite Clay, *Ground Dried Sea Kelp, Sea Salt, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Niacin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, D-Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Folic Acid, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Calcium Carbonate, *Vegetable Oil, *Ground Anise Seed. *CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENT[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Guaranteed Analysis: Crude protein (min.)20%, crude fat (min.) 14%, crude fiber (max.) 8%, moisture (max.) 10%. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I'm thinking I could bump the protein by adding bloodworm bits and boiled egg crumbles to this mix.[/FONT]
I am curious if anyone else here has had experience using this particular brand of feed. I have two main reasons for wanting to switch from my current brand: 1) Our local feed store carries only the 50lb. bags, and we don't need that large of a bag. 2) I want a feed that has a greater variety of ingredient sources - not mainly corn, soy, and rice. If any of you have used this brand (or a similar alternative), I would like to know what your experience has been. Thanks in advance for any input. Below, is a link to the Harrison's website....
