I can only get Manna Pro in 5 pound bags here. Otherwise, I'd be happy to feed that. It's either Dumor, Orscheln's (really inconvenient for me) or Purina...
If anyone is interested I can get the SKU# to give to there Tractor Supply store to order the NutriSource Gamebird Maintenance feed. I use to work for Tractor Supply so I KNOW they can order it for anyone who wants it. They just need a minimum order of 2 - 4 bags. Like I said before, it's $19.99 for a 50pound bag but it's very good feed and my pheasant and Quail love it. The only thing with the quail is you have to feed it to mature birds bc of the size of the pellets and it has whole corn, millet, edible peas, oats, and milo in it also. I mix some black oil sunflower seeds with it to make it go further.
IF THEY'RE TOO LAZY TO LOOK IT UP THEN THEY'RE NOT GOING TO ORDER IT ANYWAY. SORRY TO SAY PATTI BUT TSC REALLY HAS A SERIOUS LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MOST STORES. DESPITE BEING A FULL LINE PURINA DEALER AND HAVING REAL GBS AT THEIR DISPOSAL THEY SIMPLY DONT WANT TO BOTHER WITH IT.
I addressed this issue with the manager of my local Tractor Supply. My store is very good about getting whatever the customer wants, yes, maybe my local store is an exception. But speaking from experience they DO try to get whatever the customer wants. He has even ordered special mini pig food from Mazuri feeds for just one customer who uses it. If the store doesn't know the customer wants it how are they suppose to know to keep it on hand. Granted, the Nutrisource gamebird feed he orders he only keeps a few bags on hand so it doesn't go bad. But, if more is needed it can be ordered and takes exactly one week to arrive. The whole Tractor Supply Chain cannot be condemned because a few stores won't cater to there customers needs. Just one more pat on the back for my local store is that when the chicks are in during chick days he will order in whatever breed of chicks the customre wants. There is a minimum # of course depending on the breed but he will gladly get whatever the customer wants. He already said he will order me pheasant and Quail next season and the shipping will be on the store. If anyone is interested here are the SKU#'s for the NutriSource Gamebird Maintenance and the Conditioner my local store carries. Maintenance SKU#--- 5016006, Conditioner SKU#---5016014. And these are 50 pound bags.
