I am just curious who sells this ours down here is not medicated Purina Gamebird Starteena that is .tia

DAVID PURINA'S MEDICATED FORMULA IS A REGOINAL THING THO PURINA WAS NOT ABLE TO DEFINE THE REGION FOR ME.... MOSTLY NORTH EASTERN AND MIDWESTERN STATES FROM WHAT I CAN FIND--- " THE PHEASANT BELT" ---I BELEIVE ITS AIMED AT THE LARGE PHEASANT FACTORIES IN THESE STATES..

I think if you look at that tag it will say for pheasants.

I was just curious J he is only about 2 counties away from me I hav,nt dealt with SS for game bird feed yet that and we do not have a TSC close the only thing I have bought from SS is just a little chick starter for a few silkies I have been hatching for my niece

MEDICATED WILL NOT KILL YOUR CHICKS, FLOCK RAISER IS HORRIBLE AND TOO LOW IN PROTIEN AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY NEED AND LIKE MOST CHICKEN FORMULAS MAY CAUSE EITHER DIARRHEA OR CONSTIPATION= BOTH CAN KILL QUAIL EASILY, AND SCRATCH IS 10% PROTIEN IN MOST CASES AND EVEN LESS THAN WHAT THEY NEED. 22% PROTIEN IS AN ADULT MAINTENANCE FORMULA, NOT A CHICK STARTER OF ANY VALUE ( IF THIS IS THEIR GAMEBIRD STARTER SWITCH FEED COMPANIES!) TURKEY WILL WORK IF NECESSARY AND IS CLOSER TO GAMEBIRD STARTER THAN MOST OTHER SUBSTITUES. LOOK AT THE PURINA WEBSITE THEY HAVE A DEALER LOCATOR OPTION THAT MAY BE ABLE TO STEER YOU TOWARD A SOURCE FOR REAL GAMEBIRD STARTER, YOU CAN ALSO CHECK NUTRENA AND CENTRAL STATES AND SEE IF THEY SHOW DEALERS IN YOUR AREA. IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST PLAY MAD SCIENTIST AND COOK UP YOUR OWN USE A GOOD GAMEBIRD MAINTENANCE FORMULA AND MIX IT 75% GBMF WITH 25% SOYBEAN MEAL. PERSONALLY ITS MUCH EASIER AND USUALLY CHEAPER TO BUY PREMADE FORMULA IF YOU CAN GET IT... SHOP AROUND AND IF NECESSARY ASK IF THEY CAN ORDER IT FOR YOU, MANY WILL UPON REQUEST

I STAND CORRECTED....JUST LEARNING MYSELF AND PASSING ON WHAT I WAS TOLD...MY BAD

Reading off the tag it states it is for pheasants & 30% protein.
On the bag it reads
"pheasants, quail, turkeys, chuckers, mallards & guineas can all benefit from a Purina Mills Game Bird Chow feeding program"
