I know that Tractor Supply carries Dumor brand starter crumbles for pheasant, chukar, etc. It's a different ratio than regular chick starter.
Brumfield Hay and Grain in Lexington carries Purina game bird starter chow (I did a purina search online for carryers). They've been around FOREVER. My mother used them for her feed over 35 years ago when she used to stadium jump. You're actually pretty lucky to come into thoroughbred racing community. There are probably more feed mills and carriers than other states and areas because of the horse farms and beef industry here.
A last thought. Cracked corn for cattle is more powdery and smaller than say, the cracked corn at TSC. It has some of the consistency of semolina or corn meal. Wasteful to an adult chicken but maybe good for you? I had bought some from Hallway feeds last year when a co worker bought feed for his boer goats.

Tractor supply also carries the purina too

Hey Kentucky People! Sorry to stop in so randomly, but my Dad told me he wanted birds for Christmas and Im not having much luck on Craigslist.

PLUS--Id rather give some BYC'er my money, lol

**************HERE IS THE WANTED LIST********

He's looking for some big dewlap geese..might be talking about Toulouse? He wants a pair of those.

He's also looking for Muscovy ducks..I think a trio of those.

He also mentioned Peafowl and Guineas (would need to be young maybe so they stick around?)


I have no idea why one would want to stock up on birds when its getting ready to be REALLY cold out, but Im looking to buy!
I dont have time to get on here as much, so feel free to PM me if you have any info! Ill get notified in my regular email.
Thanks! OH! AND we are in Georgetown, just outside of Lexington. Im willing to drive about an hour....maybe more if I can do one stop shopping and the prices are affordable!
Thanks again you guys!

I am from Somerset and I am a breeder and shower of high quality American Gamefowl. I breed both standard and bantam sizes. I work with three bloodlines in my standards: Redquill (Elson), Kelso (Jumper), and Hatch (Lepier and Robinson). In Bantams I breed Brown Reds, Redquills and Black Sids. I breed all my birds as two crosses and no more than three. I only show the birds that I breed off of each year. I am wanting to ask my fellow Kentuckians if there are anymore breeders of AGF in our lovley state. I am looking to widen my flock by buying other breeders birds. I am very picky and if I even suspect a cock fighter I will turn and walk away. I WANT SHOW BIRDS NOT FIGHTING BIRDS. That is cruelty and downright heartless to partake in.

So if anyone knows that name and contact information for a fellow Breeder of show quality AGF....Please email me at [email protected].



Some of my birds:

Highme Hatch Redquill

Hatch Redquill Rooster and Hatch Kelso Grey hen

Broody Girl...She died this year after brooding three different times.....a stray dog got her

Bantam Brown Red Rooster:

TIM

I had 2 grey american game hens that adopted us. They have both since chosen bad spots for a nest and got eaten, but before that they raised a bunch of chicks for us. I just have a couple of their mixed babies.
