I have 27 cornish x's
This is the second time I've had problems with this particular feed store guy. He's the owner/manager (it's a Southern States, but I think they are franchised). The first time I called, I asked if they had turkey starter. He says "yeah, we have chick starter"-- I told him I was looking specifically for turkey starter, and explained that we had cornish x's and wanted the higher protien feed. He told me that most folks just feed chick starter and they were fine. FINALLY he did look up the turkey starter, and "yeah, we have that too".
Yesterday, I had to go get MORE food for the little poop factories. I told the helpful employee (he will look up anything, and doesn't question what you want), that I needed broiler grower/finisher. Well "big man" was standing over his shoulder, "helpful" started to look up what I was asking for and "big man" says to him "layer pellets". I told him, no, that I specifically wanted grower/finisher. he said that layer pellets were fine for pullets. I told him that they were not pullets, that they were cornish x's. well "that other guy that comes in feeds his the pellets". EXCUUUUSE ME? did I ask what Joe Bob feeds his chickens? (NO, I didn't say that, just thought it LOL) "well, we do have the 'super breeder', that has more protien, but it's a crumble". I told him I'd rather have the higher protien, in order to avoid leg problems, and I'm ok with the crumble-- (these chickens toss out the pellets anyhow I did feed them the layer pellets for a day when I was out of starter).
I'm really thinking of just going to TSC from now on for feed--this guy is such a pain in the uh-huh
