Duck feed?

[Soon2BChixMom]

Ok I see a lot of people say All Flock is not available at Tractor Supply Co. That is true.
Nutrena All Flock is not available at either of my 2 local TSC.
But an All Flock feed is available. It's called Flock Raiser. Purina Flock Raiser to be precise.
Flock Raiser is a registered trademark of Purina.
So All Flock/Flock Raiser both have higher Protein 18/20% than most Layers feed, and lower Calcium than Layers feed 1.4-1.9/.08-1.3%.
I've only seen Nutrena All Flock in a pellet. Purina is a crumble, but I've seen a pellet at my local TSC,View attachment 1472461. It's hard to find in stock, I've only seen it twice out of hundreds of times I've been there. GC

My purina flock raiser isn't that pricey, I get mine at tsc too.
I think the medicated version is pelleted? But, have not seen it at my local tsc.

Also, the Nutrena website lists the products sold and where to find a retailer. It specifically states certain varieties of Nutrena are not found at TSC.

Yeah, the Flock Raiser crumbles price is $18.19. GC

so I stopped to get a new bag of my all flock today and they have changed it to 20% protein. . what the! Why?
Now I'm going to have to look at the label to see if they changed anything else.
I suppose that's ok. . but mine get plenty of treats and find lots of bugs and worms on their own they probably don't really need any higher protein.

I’ll ask to see if they can order it for us.

Nutrena? Or is this another brand?

Yes.

Purina Flock Raiser is supposed to have the minimum amount of Niacin for ducks. GC

Ya, I was referring to the nutrena brand. Which is still 14 dollars a bag.
I personally prefer the pellets so I don't wanna pay 4 more dollars a bag for the Purina crumbles.

That's the same price I've seen.
I actually emailed nutrena about why they don't carry nutrena all flock at tractor supply stores. . hold on and I'll grab a screen shot.

Here is what it says on their website.

here is what they told me when I asked about it.

It's frustrating to me that it's a special order thing now. I would like to be able to pick it up at more than one place depending on where I need to go that day. . the Orscheln store I normally get it at is in a smaller town that doesn't have some of the other places we sometimes need to go to.
I sure can see why lots of people just feed their ducks layer feed and call it good. I could get layer pellets right down the road from me for about 8 or 10 dollars a bag.

 

[shawluvsbirds]

And now to top it off Orscheln has run out of any kind of pine shavings that are not mini flakes. What in the world! I asked about that too. . guy at the register said that "some of the plants that were making them burned down"
he had a poop eating grim on his face when he said this. So I think he was blowing smoke.
BUT it may be true, why else would they run totally out when they used to carry about 5 different kinds?

Maybe it's a space issue?
The Nutrena I got was still at 18%. However, I only switched to see if there would be less mess than the crumbles.

Man, you are having a hard time with supplies lately. I just get the pine flakes from tsc.
