Best all Flock feed?

[brittanys22]

I recently just adopted a goose and I have 7 chickens. I switched the food to all flock feed Purina crumbles. What does everyone else use?

Here in Wisconsin we have a brand called Sprout that we use. I have used the Purina Flock raiser, and it would be my next choice if I could no longer get the Sprout brand from Fleet Farm.

Flock Raiser by Purina or All flock by Nutrena.

I have ducks, chickens, and chicks

I feed a 22% Game Bird Grower/Finisher to all my birds. Peafowl, Guineas, Chickens, Ducks, Geese. I get it from my local MFA feed mill.

I'm using Purina flock raiser crumble. It is 20% protein. I can make mash easy with the crumble and my feeder does not waist much at all so I'm not going pellets for now. It is made close as my bags are always dated two or three weeks old.
I feed a local brand 10 grain scratch daily and they free range in the yard 1 hour most days so if they get more than 10% from grain and a little free ranging, the higher protein in the all flock is a good thing. They get a few raisins most days as I use them as a bribe to go back in the run after free ranging. I'm not doing table scraps or other foods. I might hang an apple from a string now and then.
I keep the grit cup and now the oyster shell cup full. After 24 weeks and two dozen eggs they are health.
Purina is rated well and has good word of mouth reviews here.. It is priced with in a dollar of any other brand so its works for me.

I highly suggest doing a search on this forum for 'all flock'/'feed'. Very educational! I've learned that Purina's Flock Raiser has much lower niacin (55 ppm, I think?) compared to NatureWise's All Flock (something like 125 ppm). However, I notice from analysis that the Flock Raiser has much higher levels of .... pretty much everything else. Possibly because it's also rated for baby and growing birds as well as adults. Would love to see a comparison of feeds from someone well-educated in poultry nutrition!

For what it's worth, I feed Flock Raiser, mostly because of it's availability.

I use Nutrena all flock pellet...only because it's the only all flock option my TSC carries, but my birds all seem happy and healthy with it, so no reason to switch.
