I know nothing about your feed in PA. I do like pellet feeds over mash type for birds over 3 months old. It guaranties that they get a balanced feed as opposed to some birds just picking through the mash which I have had happen in the past. I am a stickler for reading the labels when comparing feeds.

Here is an interesting little fella. This guy is what showed me my Partridge Rooster was split for mottling. I first saw the white feathers and posed him here a few months ago, thinking maybe he was from a birchen program As he grew you kind folks here told me he was mottled. Because he is split on the e locus, he has fantastic yellow legs and feet. A downside is the red leakage in the hackles, giving them a yellow appearance. Here he is now at the farm. He is with a breeder friend on the farm. His erm "butt" changed completely. Cute boy!

Look cool! He seems to be a mottled/birchen bird.

That is about 1/2 lb a day per birds so not bad.. I feed so much and so many I have to not keep track of my usage.
