What do you feed yours?

UNTIL 4 WKS AGO I WAS FEEDING PURINA STARTRENA EXCLUSIVELY... 4 WKS AGO I SWITCHED TO A GAMEBIRD STARTER MADE HERE AT A LOCAL MILL. ITS THE SAME PURINA FORMULA, BUT NOT IN PURINA BAGS... AND CUT MY FEED COSTS BY 35-40%. SO FAR THE BIRDS ARE DOING GREAT ON IT. I HAVENT SWITCHED BEFORE NOW BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT FROM THE MILL IS 1000LBS AT A TIME, NOW WE'VE GROWN ENOUGH TO USE 1000LBS IN A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME SO I DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SPOILAGE.

WITH COTURNIX YOU'LL FIND CHANGING FEED UPSETS THE APPLE CART SO TO SPEAK. THEY LOVE PERPETUAL SAMENESS, ANY CHANGES TICKS THEM OFF AND GREATLY EFFECTS THE LAY RATE. I USUALLY TELL FOLKS TO PICK A GOOD GAMEBIRD STARTER THAT THEY CAN OBTAIN ALL THE TIME AND STICK WITH IT. WETHER IT BE NUTRENA, PURINA, MANN PRO OR ANOTHER LOCAL BRAND, BUT MAKE IT 1 THAT YOU CAN WALK INTO THE FEED STORE AND GET ANYTIME (THIS HELPS AVOID THE UH OH! NOW WHAT DO I FEED THEM? SCENARIOS)

DONT GET ME WRONG, DUMORE IS A DECENT PRODUCT--- FOR CHICKENS, AND EVEN THO THE BAGS SAY IT IS A STARTER FOR ALL BIRDS.... IT IS NOT GAMEBIRD STARTER. AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN JUST PROTIEN %. FEED ALL YOUR BREEDERS A GOOD GB STARTER FOR A MONTH SOLID AND JUST WATCH... AT THE END OF WK2 THE EGG RATE WILL START TO SLOWLY INCREASE AND IT WILL CONTINUE FROM THERE, BY THE END OF WK4 YOU WILL NO DOUBT SEE A VERY NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR EGG RATE, THE NEXT TIME THEY MOLT YOU'LL SEE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR BIRDS. THE BIG THING IS CONSISTANCY WITH THESE GUYS. REMEMBER ANY CHANGES BREAK "QUAIL LAW" AND THE SENTANCE FOR THE INFRACTION IS "BAD KEPPER- NO EGGS FOR YOU!"

Are you giving the GB Startena to the adults or do you switch them over eventually?
 
I used Purina and wasn't satisfied with it so I switched to Manna Pro and it is the only food I will feed my birds start to finish
