Check your Feed bag tags UPDATED

[Brody's Broodello]

Everything we breed , Bantam, Large fowl & waterfowl have always eaten Flock Raiser & Layena Pellets, without problem. If the air is dry you could have a problem with choking, especially if water is not close by.

Not at my TSC...

My TSC carries both kinds. It'll say the difference right on the bag. I feed crumbles to smaller birds and as they mature I switch to the pellets. They waste much less feed that way.

***Stupid question alert***

can someone please post a pic of a crumble next to say a dime for comparison purposes, and then a pellet beside a dime...

I feed Layena.. but I have no clue If I feed pellets or crumbles...

I THINK pellets are long kind of tube like shape and crumbles look like Bread crumbs sort of?

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

I'd check your bag tag and see if the feed store didn't give you pellets rather than crumbles by mistake.

Yup, mine does this all the time. I love them tho, they carry everything out for me and give me free chicken calenders

So I forgive them

pellets look like a corn based rabbit pellet. Crumbles are like coarse dirt with larger chuckns of corn in them.

Read the label folks. It's always on the label, not the bag. It's the same for Nutrena and Blue Seal.

Any 8 week old chicken, even bantams, are fine on pellets. There is less waste.

I buy both Crumbles and Pellets and mix the two bags together....I have some who prefer one or the other, so everybody's happy...

...except for the girls who rake the Layena out on the ground and only look for the cracked corn I slip in there sometimes.

The bags DO look exactly alike - you have to read the white tag at the end of the bag.

My siklies are 5 months old and eat pellets and
have been doing fine, had crumbles for a while
but its too powdery and wastefull. Grind up your pellets
if you are concerned abou feeding it.
Use your food chopper or coffee grinder.

My bantams are doing quite well on Layena pellets.
