Thanks for the info on the Purina Game Bird Chow, we switched to the Game Bird Chow Conditioner (birds are now going on 14 weeks) and the feather picking has stopped. Although lower in protein than what I had been giving them, the fact that there is some animal protein seems to have done the trick. Buckeyes apparently don't make good vegans

There's a post and picture of the birds on my website if anyone's interested: http://www.betterhensandgardens.com/2010/11/24/feather-picking-chickens/

We believe there are 14 roosters (of 28 birds) so the next thing will be figuring out which roosters to keep. I think only two can stay.

I am continually amazed at how friendly and curious they are!

Our local tractor supply can't get the game bird feed here in Ga . or at least that was the reason he gave me
we have another feed store here and they don't handel it either .
would the 24 % dumor work and a can of cat food every day or so work ?
