Pellets or crumbles?

I buy a crumble type feed because I feed a mash and it's just easier.
If you feed dry you may find the waste is less with pellets.
Sometimes the feed you want only comes in one form.
 
I’ve tried crumbles, and found the waste much higher than with pellets. They break down too easily, creating dust, which I’m not a fan of since it is more of a choking hazard for my chickens/ducks.

Good thread topic, it’s always nice to hear what works best for everyone.
 
I just get layer feed for my 6 hens all laying, no rooster, so sounds like I'll just continue with that.

That should work. Remember during molt to provide extra protein to help regrow the protein rich feathers.

We use higher protein grower pellets with oyster shell on side. We have mixed age flock, and a male, so this works for us.
