I hate to bring up a sore subject, but I know some of us can't get gamebird starter without antibiotics because we are in the "Pheasant Belt".

Where exactly is the "Pheasant Belt?"

I called my feed store to see if I could special order some Purina Startena without antibiotics and he told me they don't make it that way. I've called Purina direct and they aren't familiar with the product WITH antibiotic.

Very frustrating.
 
Were do you live? From under your name it says the windy city so im thinking Chicago? Unless...

Chicago.

I live in the suburbs, so "feed stores" are hard to come by...haha!

I could drive a hour+ out to get to another feed store to see what they have, but I'm not really sure if it's worth it for $15 of feed. I'll spend more on that in gas!

So I think I'm pretty much stuck with the Purina Startena Medicated.
 
hmm not sure I thought the pheasant belt would be more west than that, ya know when you turn on the pheasant hunting tv shows on the outdoor channel and hundreds of pheasant come flying out of the corn field
 
You'd think that...haha. I've never SEEN a pheasant in real life in the wild. At the zoo!

But down state and in Indiana there's tons of corn fields. I just don't get out much, being a city girl and all.

I brought hard boiled coturnix eggs to work and half the people were wigged out. One person asked if I collected them myself. I was like, "What? You mean in the field?" THAT was weird. What if they were half developed?
 
The "pheasant Belt" Is A Geographical Area Where Lots Of Very Large Commercial Pheasant/ Bob White Farms Are Located... What Exactly Those Boundries Are I Have No Clue, But Its Most Midwest States Down Thru Mississippi And Across Through Parts Of The Carolinas
