New Purina Feed

[Mybackyardpeepers]

Same! That’s why I don’t buy Flock Raiser anymore. Sooooo much powder and with the feeder I switched to it doesn’t come out properly so I constantly have to shake it. So annoying lol

Our TSC doesn’t carry the pellet formula.

I ended up with feed mite infestation with the flock raiser!!! I'm not saying it won't/doesn't happen with the pellets but I bet the less powder helps not attract them.

Free ship to store @KDOGG331 ?

I didn’t think of that option! That’s a great idea.

That’s awful!! I think you might be on to something though. That makes sense. Never thought of that. I prefer pellets anyway, they don’t waste as much and it’s much easier.

They were horrible to get rid of cause I keep my feed in my house! The store replaced both bags even though they are safe for chicks and ducks to still eat.

Oh wow that’s terrible! So you had them in the house!?

That’s good they replaced them though.

Yup!
Rule number one store in air tight container, especially if in your house.
Rule number two never leave containers used in feed on your counters period. Feed mites can spread to normal human food.
Ugh, at least it didn't.

I have cockerels and roosters, so I can't try it out.

 

[21hens-incharge]

I won't be buying it.
I have several low production birds, elderly birds, broody birds etc etc.

I prefer to feed a higher protein lower calcium feed.

Currently feeding an all flock feed. Yes mine is crumbled too. Mine don't fling it or scrape it out. The fines get made into wet mash.

Never know purina would never use it

Oh boy...go to Purina's website and use the compare option for this feed and their regular layer feed.

Looks like new labeling, not new feed (???) .

I usually do, have one of those gamma vault things but the current bag I don’t have in a container yet cause I need to empty the storage container of the old food. I have mine in the car currently but that’s probably not safe for the girls.

And OMG that’s scary!! I’ve definitely done that before and brought them in the house, etc.

I’ve gotta be more careful!! Haha
