Ive tried 3 different brands of starter crumbles for my chicks and have had terrible luck with it. The bags seems like mostly dust. I have been making a big tray of mash out of the feed every morning for my 5-6 week olds and they love it. It lasts a good portion of the day for them but I also want to provide extra dry feed in a feeder so there is always food available. I just get very frustrated by the dust in the feed because it feels so wasteful using it in a feeder. I do my best to dump the leftover dust for a mash, but it seems like these feeds are mostly dust with some crumble the birds can actually eat. Does anyone do ONLY mash for food to prevent waste? How do you make sure there is always enough food available?
For reference I have used Purina Starter Crumbles, Dumor Organic Starter Crumbles and just opened a big bag of Kalmbach Organic Starter crumbles to find mostly dust once again.
