feed

[jedanysuarez]

Hi, so I just finished my bar ale feeding for my chickens. I went to the store today to get the same brand and same protein percentage and they did not have it. Could I switch to a different brand.

 

[nuthatched]

Yeah, no problem.

Yep. Preferably one close to the original, but anything (in reason) is better than nothing

and is it alright if i switch to 16 percent ??

If thats the best that is avaliable.

Most chickens will switch between various commercial feeds reasonably easily. Sometimes they just don't like a feed and that can make things more difficult.
I wouldn't worry about the crude protein content. What might be helpful is to get a feed with the Methionine and Lysine percentages as close to the feed you've been using, Not all feeds with the same crude protein content have the same amino acid balance.

I was going to go back, but the place is closed. What are some other food alternatives for them right now just until I buy their food.
