Purina Pellets or Dumor Crumbles?

Which would be better for a flock including 11 pullets and 1 cockerel?
Pullets will be used for laying purposes.

Depends on what your chickens like. My girls prefer the crumbles. If I can't get my usual feed it takes them a half day to decide to eat the pellets and look at me like "wheres my food mom?"

Im sure you chickens will show their displeasure or preference!

You don't give the age, but normally the crumbles are for the little ones and the pellets are for those say over 18 weeks old. There is less
waste with pellets.

I've found we have less waste with the pellets.

I always mix my feed anyways. I get locally milled feed and mix with the pellets and they seem to like it a lot.

We tried the crumbles and all I did was scoop it off the floor and throw it away.

I definitely prefer the crumbles. I use Dumor as well as Blue Seal organic brand.

I have a hanging feeder, so there is very little waste.

Try it all and see what your birds do best with.
